About Opendoor
At Opendoor our mission is to tilt the world in favor of homeowners and those who aim to become one. Homeownership matters. It's how people build wealth, stability, and community. It's how families put down roots, how neighborhoods strengthen, how the future gets built. We're building the modern system of homeownership giving people the freedom to buy and sell on their own terms. We’ve built an end-to-end online experience that has already helped thousands of people and we’re just getting started.
About the TeamThe Pricing team is the engine behind Opendoor’s ability to price homes with speed, scale, and confidence. We build the core platform that turns data, models, and business logic into the prices that power our entire business.
We own mission-critical services and data infrastructure that support pricing decisions and automation. Our systems must be fast, accurate, and resilient—because small improvements can translate into major business impact.
As a software engineer on the team, you’ll collaborate with data scientists, machine learning engineers, product managers, and partner engineering and operations teams to turn ideas into resilient, production-ready systems. You’ll see your work move from design to deployment quickly and have meaningful ownership over how our pricing platform evolves and how we shape the future of real estate.

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 and talents across engineering, operations, design, operations, mortgage, finance, legal, and more to deliver strong results.
