Engineering gets respect.  
We use the phrase 'we're a tech company that does Real Estate' to emphasize how important engineering is to the company.  Engineering is the department that drives our apps, tools, data, and interfaces forward. This attitude comes not only from the Engineers, but from our CEO and other top management. They believe in us.

We have awesome problems to solve.  
The housing market provides a fantastic blend of problems.  We need creative people to help us combine the data about every address in America with the soft side of helping people find a home that makes them feel safe, happy, and comfortable.

Stability is wonderful. 
We're that rare company that holds the culture of its startup roots, while blending in the sanity of a regular work schedule with an emphasis on work/life/family balance. It’s like this because we worked hard to make it this way.

What you’ll work on:
-You’ll be a technical lead for Trulia’s iOS applications. This includes top rated iPhone and iPad apps in the main Apple App Store. These apps are used by millions of consumers and real estate professionals each day. The work you do will have huge impact.

-You will work with product owners and graphical designers to design new features and new applications, plan releases, respond to bug reports, investigate new technologies, prioritize engineering goals and more.

-You’ll contribute to Trulia’s awesome, employee-centric team, managing a team of iOS developers, and mentoring developers across all teams.

-You’ll join forces with other engineering leads to achieve great things.

You:
- You have senior level technical chops, working in a professional coding environment for over five years
- You've been working directly with iOS for at least 3 years
- You understand how to manage several apps that are always in progress
- You’ve demonstrated success innovating with Engineering, Product and Design teams
- You enjoy motivating and mentoring talented engineers, helping them navigate tough tradeoffs between functionality, complexity and time.
- You live to break down and solving complex problems by creating practical, maintainable, and scalable solutions
- You're a great person that willingly collaborates, listens, and cares about treating people fairly.
- Your work commands a top ranking in the app stores

How we work:
The engineering team is about a hundred people, and we break into small teams of 2-4 to focus on specific projects.  We release often, with new features always under development and a strong focus on user experience. Our local QA team writes automation tests and does hand testing of your features, working with you to ensure that only high quality code gets to production. Organizationally, we're pretty flat, though you'll have a mentor with whom you'll have weekly 1-on-1 meetings, to review code, exchange ideas, and ensure we're doing everything we can for you to thrive in your role.

Other Perks:
- 'Innovation Week' every quarter
- People you're happy to see every day
- Stocked Kitchens and two kegerators
- Penthouse roof deck
- All IDEs welcome
- Aeron chairs
- Great benefits (untracked time off, variety of health plans, 401k match)

Why Trulia?
Trulia’s engineers are passionate and smart. We have a lot of leeway on how we do our work, and take that responsibility seriously. We’re not afraid to try things that may not work. One week per quarter is blocked for “off-roadmap” projects; engineers can pretty much work on whatever they want during that time and show it off to the company when they are done.
We like to get things done with fast, maintainable code. We know a lot of things about agile development practices, and use what we know to get our work get done more efficiently and effectively. Have an idea on how we can do something better? Speak up, and we’ll try it out.
We have great benefits and perks like flexible vacation time, 401k match, a beautiful SoMa office with fully stocked kitchens, indoor bike racks, foosball tables, and a kegerator.
