About the role

  • Triage, troubleshoot, and resolve complex (L2/L3) incidents across 70+ business applications, owning issues from intake through closure while meeting response and resolution SLAs.

  • Create and maintain runbooks and SOPs for recurring issues, and identify workflow improvements and automation opportunities to prevent repeat incidents and reduce manual effort.

  • Investigate and resolve data synchronization and integration issues across ZHL systems (for example, Encompass, Salesforce, Blend, and downstream systems) to ensure accurate and timely data for our teams.

  • Perform day‑to‑day administration of core mortgage platforms and other ZHL applications, including user and role setup, permissions management, and environment alignment (Production/Sandbox/UAT).

  • Partner with Engineering, IAM, Business Operations, Product, and vendors to manage complex changes, escalations, and cross‑platform initiatives, ensuring safe, well‑communicated releases.

  • Serve as a primary point of contact for Zillow Home Loans teammates, including Loan Officers, Processors, Underwriters, and Closers, and develop knowledge base articles, “how‑to” guides, short training videos, and other self‑service tools that help users solve common issues independently.

  • Track and improve support and operational metrics, such as response and resolution times (MTTA/MTTR), incident recurrence, knowledge base coverage, and customer satisfaction (CSAT), and proactively deliver process improvements that enhance efficiency and reduce repetitive, manual work. 

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 addition to a competitive base salary and benefits, this position is also eligible for equity awards based on factors such as experience, performance and location.

Who you are

  • You bring strong, hands‑on Salesforce administration experience, which is a priority skill for this role.

  • You have experience diagnosing data and integration issues (for example APIs, webhooks, or ETL), using SQL and log analysis to identify root causes.

  • You have exposure to or interest in observability tools and basic automation or scripting to improve reliability and reduce manual work.

  • You are able to communicate clearly with both non‑technical users and executives, and you stay steady and solutions‑oriented under pressure.

  • You have working knowledge of common mortgage lending tools (such as Encompass and Blend) and an understanding of the loan origination lifecycle, or you are excited to learn them.

  • You understand identity and access management (IAM) role design and least‑privilege principles, and you value clear, accurate access documentation.

  • You care deeply about customer experience, follow through on issues, look for ways to prevent them from recurring, and continuously improve processes—not just close tickets.
