Engineering Manager - Agreement to Close Engineering

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.

As Engineering Manager for Agreement to Close Engineering, you’ll lead a full‑stack engineering team building AI‑driven engagement with our agent salesforce. Redfin has thousands of agents who each have hundreds or even thousands of customer relationships, and we’re identifying and creating magical moments to engage customers and help them continue their home‑buying or home‑selling journey.

This role blends technical leadership with product collaboration: you’ll guide engineers as they iterate quickly, uphold craftsmanship, and deliver stable, fast, intuitive software. You’ll shape the team’s engineering culture, drive architectural direction, and ensure we ship impactful features that push our brokerage business forward by providing real insights for our customers.

• We power Redfin’s engine of growth with AI insights: our work makes our real estate agents more effective, leading to more successful home‑buyers and sellers.
• We strive for craftsmanship in our software:
  Great software is stable, fast, delightful and solves a specific problem. When building and maintaining our code we hold these as top priorities.
• We iterate quickly but keep an eye out for one‑way doors:
  We should quickly improve the software where we can easily reverse decisions, but proceed methodically and carefully when approaching work that would be expensive to undo.
• We own our features from end to end. We build the pipelines to get data into databases all the way to the UI a user sees.

• You have 2+ years of experience as a software engineering manager, having worked on full‑stack web development. Experience with React and Java preferred.
• You are a leader, inspiring your team to succeed and ensuring their work has impact.
• You partner well with your product development and design peers, with a history of delivering best‑in‑class software.
• You delight in and have built high‑performing teams and mentored junior engineers into more senior positions.
• You have a passion for building scalable and performant applications using cutting‑edge technology and diving deep into both front‑end and back‑end code and architecture.
• You are enthusiastic about and have a strong track record of developing efficient processes for the team.
• You operate well in the unknown, advocate for your team, aren’t afraid to take risks and learn from your mistakes.
• When you disagree, you disagree constructively, with respect for everyone else’s opinions and ideas.
• Startup or innovation experience is a plus; you enjoy building something new!

• Java
• JavaScript, ReactJS
• SQL, Hibernate, PostgreSQL
• AWS, Redis Cache, Kafka
• CSS, HTML
