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 start-up DNA, 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
technical lead of the team responsible for Trulia’s 50MM + core
audience. These pages get millions of views a day, so the work you do
will have huge impact.
- You’ll contribute to Trulia’s awesome,
employee-centric team, managing the team of developers who work on the
core audience experience, and mentoring developers across all teams.
-
You’ll join forces with other engineering leads to achieve great
things, including site-wide refactoring projects, bottom-up performance
changes, enumerating and prioritizing engineering goals, and more.
You:
- You have senior level development experience working at scale, preferably with PHP.
-
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.
- 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. We break into small teams
of 2-4 to focus on specific projects, working closely with product
managers and designers when appropriate. We release weekly, but new
features are always under development and often span releases. Our local
and remote QA teams write automated tests, and do hand testing of our
products, working with us 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 (Breakfast, snacks, drinks, etc), and two kegerators
- Great benefits (flexible, uncapped time off, variety of heavily-subsidized health plans, 401k match)
Our Purpose:Trulia gives home
buyers, sellers, owners and renters the inside scoop on properties,
neighborhoods and real estate professionals. Trulia has unique
information on the areas people want to live that can’t be found
anywhere else: users can learn about agents, neighborhoods,
schools, crime and even ask the local community questions. Real estate
professionals use Trulia to connect with millions of transaction-ready
buyers and sellers each month via our hyper local advertising services,
social recommendations and top-rated mobile apps.
Trulia was
founded in 2005, backed by Accel Partners and Sequoia Capital. We are a
successful high-growth company, built on an employee-centric culture
and are recognized as a Best Place to Work in both San Francisco and
Denver.
