About the role

  • Our larger organization is responsible for turning interest in a home into a completed tour, a durable relationship with an agent, and a successful move.
  • Right now we are rebuilding what a messaging product can be when an AI assistant is a participant in the conversation rather than a feature bolted onto it.
  • As a Senior Software Development Engineer on Mercury Mobile, you will define how AI shows up inside ZIM on mobile - and you will do it on both platforms.

Responsibilities

  • We own the messaging experience on both iOS and Android, from the real-time messaging core through the rich, interactive content inside every conversation.
  • Design and ship the mobile client architecture for AI in conversations - streaming responses, topic-based conversation structures, and multi-modal content rendering across iOS and Android
  • Own cross-platform architectural decisions for the ZIM messaging core, keeping Swift and Kotlin implementations converged rather than letting them drift
  • Build real-time, resilient messaging experiences that hold up on unreliable mobile networks, with observability and SLOs you define
  • Partner directly with the AI, Web, and Backend teams shaping Zillow's conversational AI roadmap, and represent mobile in those decisions
  • You have 5+ years building and shipping native mobile applications at consumer scale, with a deep understanding of the app lifecycle

Requirements

  • You have production experience on both iOS and Android - or deep expertise in one platform and demonstrated delivery in the other
  • You are fluent in Swift and Kotlin, and comfortable in SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose
  • You have built features on top of real-time or streaming data, and you know where the hard parts are
  • You have integrated GraphQL clients and reasoned carefully about caching and cache invalidation
  • You have owned the architecture of a module or platform that other teams depended on, and you write the documentation that makes adoption possible
  • You hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, or have equivalent work experience
  • We encourage you to apply if you have transferable skills or related experiences.

Nice to have

  • Experience integrating LLM or generative AI features into a consumer mobile product
  • Experience with messaging, chat, or communications products
  • Experience with on-device inference or streaming/token-level UI rendering
  • A track record of driving technical standards adoption beyond your immediate team
  • Preferred Experience:

Compensation

  • In California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Washington state, and Washington DC the standard base pay range for this role is $160,900.00 - $257,100.00 annually.
  • The base pay range is specific to these locations and may not be applicable to other locations.

Company info

  • The Mercury Mobile team builds Zillow Instant Messaging (ZIM) - the conversation layer where millions of movers participate in a multiplayer, integrated experience to find their next home.
  • Use AI coding agents as a genuine part of your workflow - and help set the standards for how the team does it well
