Bungalow is the largest and fastest-growing roommate living company in the United States. We’re on a mission to create a world where everyone can truly feel at home, wherever they want to live.

We work with homeowners across the US to take the hassle out of property management and maximize what they earn so we can provide renters with the best homes the market has to offer. 

And we know it can be challenging living with roommates, but we believe it’s worth it. We’re removing the hassle from moving and everyday living, and providing an affordable product that helps people live in the cities where they have better access to opportunity.

Join our community! Bungalow is looking for a Data Engineer to build and manage data science pipelines, contribute to architecture and design, and help to evolve data engineering best practices and standards across the organization.

Working cross-functionally with our engineering, product and data science teams, you will be responsible for enabling the future supply growth of the company - the most meaningful area to impact change in the business during the next 12 months. The data that you help clean, organize and optimize will power data science algorithms to allow the supply sales team to identify, underwrite, and close deals significantly faster, at a higher level of accuracy, and with less humans in the loop.

An ideal candidate will share a passion for our core mission and is fueled by building modern, high-quality products and systems. Someone with a positive attitude, and an empathy-first approach to working with peers and customers - a person who’s not afraid to take on tough challenges with a team. 

Our core engineering values are being human focused and team centric – we’re continual learners who give each other permission to fail and take ownership over the things that we build. Our fast-paced, ever-changing environment requires us to move-quickly, and constantly adapt. We are ruthlessly analytical, ensuring our decisions are data-driven, well considered, while maintaining a high bar for quality of delivery.
