When I made the decision to join Trulia, I was asked to aggressively seek out talent to scale with our rapidly growing company. I can’t think of a better way to entice you than to highlight all the things that I think are awesome about this place.
CULTURE
As we all know, the bond between coworkers develops over cups of percolated coffee, creative round tables, Wii tennis matches, and runs to the local taqueria. An environment like this is challenging to sustain, but fortunately, a harder one to emulate. Trulia, with its BOFFI culture and naturally creative environment embodies the notion that people perform at their best in an environment they embrace. What happens next? Well, innovative and useful product releases, the satisfaction of success, and ultimately customer satisfaction.
THE PRODUCT
It doesn’t hurt us that we’re smack in the middle of two of the most watched industries at the moment – real estate and web 2.0. Trulia is working side by side with the residential real estate industry to create cutting edge consumer products and we’re innovating every day. We know that roughly 80 % of home buyers are going on-line during their home search, and we’re always looking for new ways to help people make smarter real estate decisions.
BENEFITS
We’re big on balance, so we offer a really competitive and comprehensive benefit package – full health coverage… options… European style vacation packages (well…not really European, but better than most start ups)…and, of course, our BOFFI culture.
What helps us to attract and continue to hire great developers, UI designers, system admins, product managers, sales people, and marketing gurus is our reputation - as a company with a marketable product, a sensible business model, fair leadership, and a work-life balance (some of the time).
Bottom line is, what I noticed when I first met the team, was that there is an obvious unspoken dedication to what we do, and everyone is on top of their game. I mean, who wouldn’t prefer being in a company where people strive for more even when it seems impossible, and where people seek that hard to define but altogether inspired and uniquely Trulia voice.
Come work at Trulia! Talk with me. I’m an advocate, an employee, and a user.

I take it your software developer positions are strictly in San Francisco, without a telecommute option?
Also, what happened to your RSS feed?

Our main “HQ” IS in the sunny potrero hill area of San Francisco, and although we are huge on promoting a healthy work/life balance, we also think that to successfully promote and maintain a productive welcoming environment, being present is important.
Not sure about the RSS feed, but I’m looking in to it now!
Thank you!
