About the team
As part of the Trulia Data Science team, you will be an integral partner to the broader Zillow Growth Product team which has a mission to 'acquire and activate' high-quality users for Zillow Group brands. The Trulia Data Science
team is an impactful ensemble of multiple key business functions including SEO, Integrated Communications, and Onsite Testing that acquire and engage millions of users across our platforms. The Trulia DS team is tasked with organizing, analyzing, and visualizing large datasets from various sources to help advise both short and long-term decision-making. Our structure is very flat and you will soon find yourself working directly with Senior Leadership.
About the role
You will analyze how customers interact with our several platforms to find their next home, using these insights to advise design and product development. You will provide thought leadership in crafting an outstanding shopping experience for Trulia's users, playing a pivotal role in developing the long-term vision of our product ecosystem.

Employees may live in any part of Mexico, but preferably in Mexico City, as we would encourage attendance for occasional in-office events.
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.
