Principal Software Development Engineer

About the role

The Developer Experience (DevEx) Delivery Engineering team builds and operates Zillow's software delivery platform. This is the paved road from commit to production that every Zillow Group engineer relies on to build, test, deploy, and ship. The platform supports org-wide delivery infrastructure at meaningful scale: CI/CD, runners, GitLab, Artifactory, Progressive Delivery, mobile build and release, and legacy migration programs.

• Drive patterns and standards that other teams adopt, acting as design authority for India-owned areas in partnership with senior engineers across the org
• Take the most ambiguous components from problem framing to production-ready, observable, well-documented systems
• Hire and mentor engineers, raise the quality of code and design reviews, and help set the team's engineering standards
• Lead the safe adoption of AI across migration, code review, platform operations, incident triage, and rollout guidance
