About Opendoor

Founded in 2014, Opendoor’s mission is to empower everyone with the freedom to move. We believe the traditional real estate process is broken and our goal is simple: build a digital, end-to-end customer experience that makes buying and selling a home simple, certain and fast. We have assembled a dedicated team with diverse backgrounds to support more than 100,000 homes bought and sold with us and the customers who have selected Opendoor as a trusted partner in handling one of their largest financial transactions. But the work is far from over as we continue to grow in new markets. Transforming the real estate industry takes tenacity and dedication. It takes problem solvers and builders. It takes a tight knit community of teammates doing the best work of their lives, pushing one another to transform a complicated process into a simple one. So where do you fit in? Whether you’re passionate about real estate, people, numbers, words, code, or strategy -- we have a place for you. Real estate is broken. Come help us fix it.

About the team

We are a “startup within a startup.” A small, cross-functional team working on one of Opendoor’s next plays. We believe that “what got us here won’t get us there,” and we need to constantly innovate to fully realize our mission of empowering everyone with the freedom to move. The specific opportunity we’re chasing is highly strategic with the opportunity to become a household name in real estate.

For the right candidate, this role should feel like the best of all worlds: the funding, supportive infrastructure and gravitas of a public company; with a full-stack, scrappy team building from scratch, immersing in customer needs, and iterating fast.

Our team is unique within Opendoor, and also for the technology industry more generally. We have c-level executive sponsorship to move fast and independently, and to build from first principles. Our team has experience building from “0 to 1” at Opendoor, Square, Dropbox, Uber, and Y Combinator-backed startups.

About the Role

As a Product Engineer and founding member of our team, you’ll flex across all parts of our business, building both customer-facing experiences and the platforms and tools that power them. You’ll tackle a variety of engineering challenges across mobile and web app development, inventory management, workflow automation, security and access control, and growth.

You’ll collaborate with research, design, product, operations and finance to understand requirements, build prototypes, invent new features, and deliver scalable products and services for both internal and external customers.

Most importantly, you’ll be part of the brain trust responsible for making the product a breakout success.

Note: We welcome candidates with no prior experience in real estate.

Role Responsibilities

Skills Needed

• Passionate about engineering quality, but also biased to action: You have high attention to detail and a high quality bar; at the same time, you’re willing and able to be scrappy, and know that the true test of an idea comes when we try it out with real customers in the real world. The right candidate is able to toggle between these mindsets depending on where we are in the development cycle.
• Customer-first: You care about our customers, and you understand that we exist, first and foremost, to serve a customer need.
• A creative problem solver: You have a proven track record of thinking “outside the box” to solve complicated and multi-faceted problems. You think top-down, bottoms-up and from multiple angles to make sure we’re being exhaustive and generative in the way we tackle challenges.
• Humble:  You’re able and willing to “flex up and down” and roll up your sleeves to do whatever it takes to make the product successful.
• Tenacious! You’re determined and resilient in the face of challenges, recognizing that “Rome wasn’t built in a day”.
