Open Listings (YC W15) | Mid + Senior Full Stack Engineers | LA (Eastside) | On-site | <a href="
Open Listings is building the simplest and most affordable way to buy a home: e-commerce for real estate. We help tech savvy buyers shop for homes with expert online support, then save them a ton of money with a 50% commission refund. We're assisting hundreds of thousands of active buyers and transacting more than one home each day.
Today our software plugs into the existing real estate market via broker-quality data feeds and a network of local real estate agents. We have a web/app feed that helps users house hunt, back-of-house software that helps agents manage transactions, and custom support tools that allow our small team to assist thousands of active buyers through the process. We take a pragmatic, piecemeal approach to crafting software with heavy emphasis on testing, measurement, and iteration.
Our stack is rails, react, webpack, and mongodb with a heavy peppering of AWS goodies. The only tool we’re dogmatic about is simplicity. You should be comfortable developing the full critical path of a new web feature, but we’re most excited about front end web and/or native app expertise.
Projects we're excited about:
- Review + capacity management system for on-demand showing agents so that we can get tour lead-time down to 1 hour in major markets
- Deeper automation of the offer and closing process with online offer tracking throughout the entire buying process
- Full rebuild of our iOS app (react-native)
- Refreshed look and feel with consistent atomic style guide
- Personalized recommendations
What we're looking for from you:
- A BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience (not fresh out of bootcamp, sorry)
- Experience building a well-designed app
- A bias for building your way out of a problem
- Optimism about future technology and automation
- Good references from past colleagues
