About The Team

About the team

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. We are shifting from hands-on infrastructure operations toward secure, compliant, AI‑first paved paths that improve reliability, release safety, and developer productivity.

We are standing up a new India‑based team to expand capacity, enable follow‑the‑sun coverage, and take first‑class ownership of high‑impact platform initiatives. As one of the founding members, you'll help shape a brand‑new engineering site while working on infrastructure that multiplies the productivity of the entire engineering organization.

What the team works on

• GitLab (including GitLab Dedicated and Duo): operate the central source‑control and CI/CD platform and enable secure, AI‑assisted SDLC workflows.
• CI/CD runners: modernize Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android runner fleets improving isolation, queueing, and cost attribution.
• Progressive Delivery: scale canary, health‑gated, rollback‑aware deployment patterns.
• Artifactory and supply chain: operate a Tier‑0 artifact platform and improve upgrade, backup, retention, and lifecycle practices.
• Migration and modernization: retire legacy CI/CD (Concrete) using dashboards, partner engagement, and agentic migration.
• Mobile build/release and Mobile DevOps: sustain a high release cadence while modernizing build tooling.

Zillow Group is a strategic, mission‑driven organization focused on delivering exceptional experiences and measurable outcomes. Our work spans cross‑functional partnership, scalable programs and operational excellence in support of Zillow’s mission. We bring deep experience working across diverse teams in a dynamic, high‑growth environment, balancing strategic thinking with hands‑on execution to drive meaningful business impact. We are seeking an experienced professional to support our workforce expansion in India.
