Zillow is looking for a pragmatic JavaScript engineer to join their velocity team–a free-floating group that tackles the hardest technology problems in the company and helps Zillow move faster. This engineer will embed with a product team (around 8 people) tackling a difficult problem, propose a solution drawn from years of experience and best practices, and work with the team to implement it. And then jump to the next problem.
What sort of problems? Zillow is HUGE. With 89M people using it each *month* to explore more than 100M homes, speed, scale, and accessibility are vitally important. It’s an enormous surface area covering everything from optimizing rendering times to modernizing legacy code to laying the foundation for the next 10-years of JavaScript at Zillow.
The ideal candidate will have at least 5-years of experience working on large-scale products, a broad and thoughtful understanding of JavaScript best practices, and a nuanced approach to solving problems. The position is in Zillow’s downtown Seattle office–steps from Pike Place–and offers top-notch perks (http://www.zillow.com/jobs/seattle-office/).
Sound interesting? Of course it does.

hey 2 years later, are native array functions still slower than a custom implementation ??
Please suggest me whether to learn Underscore, Lo-dash or any other library, based on popularity, market and job prospects
awesome.. inspiring to write high performing code.
wow great talk, looks like I'm going to have to study the lodash source and the jit now.
So pushing all the values to a set is faster than calling indexof of an array?
This is so inspirational to a programmer transitioning into front-end. I am rethinking everything right now.
