Trulia - San Francisco, Full time, (H1B transfers)

Trulia is one of the largest real estate search platforms in the United States with over 35 million unique visitors across our platform every month. We're solving interesting problems and building cool things in nearly every software engineering discipline.

We've got lots of large scale projects to tackle including (but certainly not limited to):

- Building our next generation of APIs (for both internal and external consumption)

- Creating new mapping and data visualization experiences

- Rebuilding the Trulia web experience using a JS framework and our new OOCSS library (similar to Bootstrap)

- Innovating on our top ranked mobile apps

- Diving deep into the terabytes of housing and user data we have in order to tailor custom experiences for our users

Our core web stack is a traditional LAMP stack, but we use a ton of other technologies as well including: Python, Java, Hadoop, Solr/Lucene, CouchBase, Backbone, d3.js, Sass, Git, and a whole lot more.

I've been an engineer at Trulia for just over a year now and can honestly say that it is a really fun company to work for. There's a great culture of letting people run with projects that really interest them and drive the entire engineering organization forward.

The compensation and perks are fantastic including:

- Great health benefits

- Unlimited vacation

- Great location in downtown San Francisco (1 min from BART, 10 min from Caltrain)

- Monthly transportation and "well being" allowances

- Quarterly hack weeks

- Kegs on two out of three floors (including one in our penthouse/rooftop patio)

- Stocked kitchens

- Lots of happy hours

I applied for a position a week ago and didn't get any feedback. Should I worry or is it normal that it take a time before getting a reply?


Its becoming common now-a-days for recruiter to not to get back to you with one line - "Thank you for sending in your application".

There is no exception. I doubt even if they read application before clicking on "Delete" button.
