# Senior Software Development Engineer, Backend

About the team The Public Cloud Foundations (PCF) team is part of Platform Engineering. We build the internal cloud platform that every Zillow engineer builds on: the self-service APIs, paved paths, and automation that turn the raw complexity of AWS into a small set of safe, reliable, well-documented product surfaces.We treat the platform as a product. Rather than handling cloud infrastructure as a queue of tickets and one-off requests, we design software that lets teams provision accounts, networking, and shared infrastructure themselves, safe by default. Our current work shows the direction: self-service VPC connectivity, a Terraform delivery platform, container base images delivered as a managed product, and provisioning and policy capabilities exposed as APIs instead of runbooks. We partner closely with Runtime Platform, Database Engineering, Middleware Engineering, Delivery Engineering, and Security to replace manual cloud work with software.PCF is where you help decide how Zillow uses the public cloud, and how a platform team turns operational surface area into engineered products.About the role As a Senior Software Development Engineer on Public Cloud Foundations, you will b
