Are you intrigued by the thought of disrupting a trillion dollar industry through technology? At Opendoor, we are on a bold mission to empower everyone with the freedom to move by making buying, selling and trading-in a home stress-free and instant. In five years since we started, we have hired an exceptional team, seen strong growth, bought and sold over 20,000 homes (with an annual purchase run rate exceeding $3.8 billion) and raised $1.3 billion in funding. The coming years present a tremendous opportunity for innovation as we explore new frontiers and scale nationwide.

• Help our new buyers scale into new markets as we launch them and transact with new product offerings if/when we launch them.
• Educate and onboard new/prospective institutional buyers, through a mix of in-person meetings, phone conversations and email.
• Pitch in however you can when needed. We’re a lean team and there will be “all hands on deck” moments.
