Role
Who you are
- 3+ years building and delivering high quality, web-based user-centered software products in a team environment
- 2+ Years JavaScript/TypeScript, React, GraphQL, HTML5 and CSS with a deep understanding of building scalable, maintainable UIs
- Comfortable working with backend systems (Python, Go, or Ruby) to implement features, troubleshoot issues, and optimize performance
- A strong desire to build intuitive, impactful software that solves real problems for real people
- Experience working closely with cross-functional partners, such as engineering, design and operations, to deliver value to customers
What the job involves
- This is a particularly exciting time for the team as we transform our technical architecture and user experience to a multi-product, personalized experience. We are looking for a product-focused senior fullstack Engineer to join us in this transformation
- Tech Stack:
- Frontend: React, Typescript, GraphQL
- Backend: Rails, Go; gRPC
- Db: Postgres
- Hosted: AWS
- Create Meaningful Experiences: Work closely with product managers and designers to understand user pain points and build elegant, scalable solutions that delight our customers
- Own Fullstack Features: Design and develop robust front-end experiences in React and TypeScript, while also diving into back-end systems (Python, Go, or Ruby) to ensure seamless functionality end to end
- Lead with Craftsmanship: Write clean, maintainable, and modular code. You’ll contribute to reusable UI components and scalable application architecture that powers multiple user experiences
- Collaborate Across Disciplines: Engage with engineers, designers, and operators to deliver end-to-end solutions, share feedback, and ensure alignment across teams
- Drive Quality & Best Practices: Champion technical excellence through code reviews, mentorship, and initiatives to raise the bar on software quality and team processes
- Remove Friction with Technology: Partner with our operations teams to identify opportunities where software can simplify workflows, reduce manual tasks, and enhance customer support
Our take
Opendoor makes selling homes easy and stress-free by cutting out the prolonged processing time usually involved with a sale. Sellers can offload a house quickly and easily to the company for cash and a 6-9% fee. Currently operating in a growing number of markets nationwide, Opendoor has chimed well with millennials who gel quickly with online businesses that offer solutions to problems they encounter.
This buying and selling model doesn't come without risk. The longer Opendoor keeps a property, the lower its profit margin. However, Opendoor's performance has been anything but disappointing; it went public in 2021, with its pre-SPAC merger presentation calling for $3.5 billion in revenue. Its actual revenue trounced it, coming in at $8 billion - more than double its estimate.
Opendoor's largest competitor Zillow dropped out of the space in late 2021 because it struggled to price the homes it acquired accurately. Opendoor's closest remaining competitor is Offerpad, which does just a fraction of the transaction volume that Opendoor does. With strong earnings coming out of 2024, if Opendoor can continue to ride on this success long term it will have an enormous lead on existing and future competitors, giving it a shot to become the overwhelming market leader.
