Software Engineer (Front-End) - Los Angeles Opendoor.Com
Los Angeles, CA

Job Description

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.

The Role:

We're looking for a front-end engineer to implement front-end functionality on www.opendoor.com. You'll work closely with our world-class design and UX team to build and iterate beautiful user experiences. We like quick feedback-cycles between engineering, design, and our users - ship early, but iterate. You should like thinking about interactions, animation and visual polish.

Our stack is Rails, React.js, React Native, and MongoDB, with a heavy peppering of AWS goodies. The only tool we're dogmatic about is simplicity.

Your responsibilities will include:

* Make user-facing products that will be useful to our customers
* Build web and mobile apps from scratch, as well as develop existing applications
* Guide the team in making intelligent and pragmatic technical trade-offs
* Design and implement user-facing products
* Apply deep understanding of web technologies to reason about engineering / design tradeoffs
* Become a domain expert in real estate

We're looking for teammates who have:

* B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent experience
* 2+ years of industry experience
* Mastery of React.js
* Experience being saved from shipping a bug by good automated tests
* A portfolio of websites/apps that you've worked on and feel proud of
* A bias for building your way out of a problem
* Optimism about future technology and automation
* Good references from past colleagues

Bonus points:

* You love delighting customers with honest, transparent products and experiences
* Domain knowledge and/or interest in real estate
