Founded in 2014, Opendoor’s mission is to empower everyone with the freedom to move. We believe the traditional real estate process is broken and our goal is simple: build a digital, end-to-end customer experience that makes buying and selling a home simple, certain and fast. We have assembled a dedicated team with diverse backgrounds to support more than 100,000 homes bought and sold with us and the customers who have selected Opendoor as a trusted partner in handling one of their largest financial transactions. But the work is far from over as we continue to grow in new markets. Transforming the real estate industry takes tenacity and dedication. It takes problem solvers and builders. It takes a tight knit community of teammates doing the best work of their lives, pushing one another to transform a complicated process into a simple one.  So where do you fit in? Whether you’re passionate about real estate, people, numbers, words, code, or strategy -- we have a place for you. Real estate is broken. Come help us fix it.

The Data team develops the data platform that underlies Opendoor’s business. We’re responsible for both our systems and content. Our focus ranges from integrating with Multiple Listing Services (MLS) to building and maintaining the Data Warehouse solutions that drive algorithmic and interactive data models. We utilize our own proprietary, specialized systems as well as third-party tools from Open Source and Cloud-based providers. Our systems support clients who work with data in applications developed in various languages (including Python, Go, and Ruby) as well as with different latency and SLA profiles. Our real estate data allows us to make crucial business decisions, expose useful information to our customers, and analyze market trends.
