Senior Software Engineer, Full-stack

Why work at Trulia?
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.
You:
- You have experience working on high-traffic, scalable internet applications
- You love solving hard problems and working in small teams with smart people
- You're comfortable with everything from bash scripting to javascript
- You're a great person
- You love making fast websites
What you'll work with:
Our base web stack is LAMP, but that rides on top of Solr/Lucene, Hadoop, Memcache, Python, Couchbase, Open Street Maps, and more.  On the client-side, we use Backbone and jQuery for their simplicity, and JS libraries like d3.js, Raphael.js, and Google’s JS Maps API to make awesome products. We’ve embraced OOCSS and we build web UI’s from a standard component library that we’ve open sourced (https://github.com/trulia/hologram).  We believe code reviews on Git pull requests are the best line of defense against bad code. If there's something that's a good idea for the team, we'll do our best to implement it.
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.  The New Ventures team is a small, vertically-integrated team within the larger engineering team.  We are responsible for the entire product, giving us the speed and flexibility of a start-up with the resources of a public company.
We release weekly, but new features are always under development and often span releases. 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.
Behind the curtain:
- 'Innovation Week' every quarter
- People you're happy to see every day
- Stocked Kitchens and two kegerators
- Unbeatable SOMA location with penthouse roof deck
- All IDEs welcome
- Aeron chairs
- Great benefits (untracked time off, variety of health plans, 401(k) match)
Trulia is a successful rapidly growing Internet technology company, redefining the home search experience for consumers and changing the way real estate professionals build their businesses.
