The Agentic AI Experience team sits at the forefront of Zillow's transformation toward an agentic product experience—shaping how new AI capabilities come to life through natural, multimodal conversations and dynamic UIs, while serving as stewards of the framework that enables teams across Zillow to contribute to a seamless, unified experience. We operate at the intersection of product and platform: shipping meaningful experiences today while building the durable foundation that allows Zillow to build more, faster, tomorrow.
We are looking for a Senior Manager of Software Development Engineering to lead the frontend engineers on the Agentic AI Experience team across web, iOS, and Android.
You will manage the team responsible for the UX of Zillow’s AI Mode across web and mobile — a multimodal, context-aware experience that other Zillow teams are actively integrating into their own surfaces. The scope ahead extends well beyond today’s conversational interface, and much of it remains to be defined; this role is an opportunity to help shape what agentic AI experiences look like for one of the most consequential decisions people make in their lives.
Lead and grow a team of 6–10 frontend engineers spanning web, iOS, and Android, fostering a culture of craft, cross-platform collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Evolve and extend the UX for Zillow's AI Mode across platforms — owning sprint planning, roadmap execution, and cross-team coordination to continuously improve and expand one of Zillow's most high-visibility product experiences.
Develop and coach your engineers — providing consistent feedback, supporting career growth, and creating an environment where people do their best work and feel a clear path forward.
Partner across product, design, AI/ML, and peer engineering teams — aligning on requirements, establishing consistent UX principles across platforms, and driving integrated agentic experiences to production.
This role has been categorized as a Remote position. “Remote” employees do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and, instead, work from a physical location of their choice, which must be identified to the Company. U.S. employees may live in any of the 50 United States, with limited exceptions.
In California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Washington state, and Washington DC the standard base pay range for this role is $206,700.00 - $330,300.00 annually. This base pay range is specific to these locations and may not be applicable to other locations.

5+ years of software engineering experience, including meaningful hands-on work in frontend development for web (React, TypeScript, CSS) and/or mobile (iOS/Swift, Android/Kotlin, or cross-platform frameworks).
3+ years of experience managing software engineering teams, with a demonstrated track record of developing and retaining strong engineers.
A people-first leader with genuine technical credibility in frontend development — you've shipped rich user-facing experiences on web and/or mobile and use that experience to guide your team without micromanaging.
A champion for user experience quality — you hold a high bar for what great frontend work looks and feels like across web and mobile surfaces, and you bring the cross-platform perspective to keep those experiences consistent.
A coach and developer of talent who takes pride in seeing your engineers grow, receive promotions, and build rewarding careers.
A collaborative partner who builds trust across functions — product, design, AI/ML, and peer engineering teams — and drives outcomes through influence rather than authority.
A practitioner of AI-native development — you actively use AI coding tools and assistants yourself, and champion their adoption across your team as a genuine force multiplier throughout the software development lifecycle.
Experience building or managing teams that work on AI-powered or agentic applications, including familiarity with multimodal input/output (text, voice, images) and streaming UX patterns.
Experience leading cross-platform frontend teams and navigating the trade-offs between platform-native and shared-component approaches.
