Software Engineer II - DevEx Tooling

This position is a hybrid role requiring employees to work from our headquarters location in Seattle, WA every Tuesday and Wednesday, and remote all other days.

Redfin is revolutionizing the $75 billion real estate industry. We use data, beautiful software, and innovative design to put customers first at every step in the home-buying and selling process. Get ready to dive headfirst into our award-winning website and mobile apps, solving complex business problems in a highly visible, customer-centric way. If you value doing impactful work in a collaborative environment, join our team!

As a Software Engineer on the Platform Engineering team, you'll be at the heart of how Redfin builds software. Our team owns the microservices framework that powers the entire engineering organization — the scaffolding, tooling, and integrations that let developers spin up a new service and start shipping features from day one. You won't just be maintaining infrastructure; you'll be shaping the developer experience for hundreds of engineers. We're now bringing generative AI into our platform tooling, and this role sits at the forefront of that effort — building intelligent systems that eliminate toil, automate the repetitive, and let engineers focus on the work that actually moves the business forward. If you're energized by high-leverage problems where your work multiplies the productivity of an entire engineering org, this is the team for you.

The Role

• Build and maintain the microservices framework that Redfin engineers rely on to create new services
• Develop generative AI tooling that helps engineers scaffold and deploy services with less manual effort
• Extend and improve our Spring-based platform as priorities and needs evolve
• Collaborate with engineering teams to identify pain points and turn them into platform solutions
• Stay curious about emerging technology and bring ideas for where AI can meaningfully improve developer productivity
• Embrace change as the industry moves fast and new approaches to platform engineering emerge

Who you are:

• You have 3+ years of experience in Java or a similar strongly-typed language
• You have a proven track record building software where security, resilience, and scalability are non-negotiable
• You are comfortable working in large, complex codebases with many stakeholders
• Strong fundamentals in distributed systems and service-oriented architecture

Additional Desired Skills:

• Experience on a platform, developer tooling, or infrastructure team
• Familiarity with Spring and microservices patterns

What We Offer:

• Competitive compensation packages with a salary, bonuses, and restricted stock grants
• Generous benefits, including paid vacation, medical, dental, and vision insurance, and paid family leave
• A high-growth company, providing opportunities for continued professional development and growth

Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Colorado, New York City, New Jersey, Jersey City, California, D.C. and Washington candidates only:

Base Pay Range: $125,800.00 - 170,100.00.

More information regarding these benefits and others can be found here.
