"Technology is continuing to change our society and our culture. Women need to be a driving force behind these changes. If you’re interested in technology, please don’t let the gender imbalance alone keep you away from the field. There’s just too much at stake."

Diversity in Tech
We're committed to hiring candidates and interns from nontraditional sources, and holding managers accountable for inclusive culture within their teams. As we make progress on these initiatives in our product and engineering teams, we'll extend what we learn across the company.
Women in Tech
We've worked hard to recruit more women in research and development (R&D), a department which includes software developers, product managers, operations engineers, and quality assurance engineers. The appointment of Bridget Frey as Chief Technical Officer in 2015 served as a major impetus for change. Today, R&D is more than 30% women.
A passionate group of employees founded our Women in Tech group, with a focus on developing and retaining women at Redfin. Women in Tech empowers employees to lead events and discussions that help make Redfin a more inclusive place to work. Hear Bridget Frey's keynote about the advantages of diversity at the Women@Work conference.
