About the team

Zillow Group is on a mission to revolutionize the real estate process and make it easier for buyers, sellers, and renters. Our goal is to provide a seamless experience from start to finish, helping you find, finance, and move into your dream home. We are taking an "Integrated Mortgage" approach, ensuring that every step of the journey is connected and hassle-free.



The Zillow Home Loans (ZHL) engineering team as a whole plays a crucial role in achieving our ambitious goals and delivering an exceptional customer experience. We are connectors, leaders, and dedicated collaborators, working together to streamline the real estate transaction process and create a delightful and trustworthy journey for our customers. We work on every part of the stack, and collaborate with stakeholders across Zillow to make mortgages a transparent and seamless piece of the housing super app.



The ZHL GNOME team is responsible for building and maintaining core databases, APIs, and infrastructure that power the ZHL Task Platform. This platform is the underlying technology that enables task-based workflows at every step of the mortgage lifecycle, simplifying and accelerating the development of operator and borrower experiences. Central to our platform is the OODA loop - Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. As data changes on the loan, we run client-maintained rules that can create the next action to be done.
