Geospatial Software Engineer
This is an oportunity to apply your knowledge of GIS and Geo-Visualizations to help build out Trulia's innovative map experience. We are growing and looking for an experienced, versatile engineer to join our Geo team.
- Look for innovative uses of technology, ensuring a fast and well-coded experience for our millions of unique users
- Build and shape products that are interesting, challenging, and that have an immediate impact
- Work in a small team structure, innovating on new ways to demonstrate location specific trends across a multitude of datasets
- Join a team of talented, passionate people with a vision to help millions of consumers find their dream home
- 2-3 years of development experience with a GIS (using Python, C, PHP, or other)
- Experience coding Geo-Visualizations and scalability techniques for map related data
- Experience writing efficient SQL queries
- Working knowledge of source control and bug tracking tools
- Ability to break down and solve complex problems by creating practical, maintainable, extensible, and scalable solutions
- Exceptional collaborative skills & philosophy, self-motivation, and communication skills

- Experience working with automated QA (unit testing, TDD, etc.)
- Trulia's engineers are passionate and smart. We have a lot of leeway on how we do our work, and take that responsibility seriously.
- We're not afraid to try things that may not work. One week each quarter is blocked off for “off-roadmap†projects; engineers can pretty much work on whatever they want during that time and show it off to the company when they are done.
- We like to get things done with fast, maintainable code.
- We know a lot of things about agile development practices, and use what we know to get our work get done more efficiently and effectively. Have an idea on how we can do something better? Speak up, and we'll try it out.
