Overview
Zillow interviews combine standard coding with real-estate domain knowledge. System design questions often involve property search ranking, geospatial queries, and the Zestimate pricing model — topics that standard prep doesn't cover. The coding difficulty is moderate at 60% medium. Zillow values engineers who can think about data at scale — millions of property listings with location, pricing, and user behavior data.
