About Our Client
Over the past decade, millions of Americans have been forced to put their dreams of homeownership on hold. Home prices have outpaced wage growth while mortgage requirements continue to tighten. As a result, renters are missing out on a critical wealth-building opportunity: owning a home.
Our client building an on-ramp to homeownership – one that's more affordable, more flexible, and an overall better fit for the modern American family – and it’s working.
About the role
You will be able to leverage your creativity and skill set to make homeownership more accessible and equitable. The engineering team builds tools to support the consumer, agent and administrative products. You’ll own some of your projects from start to finish, support your teammates on other projects, and work collectively to scale our client's platform to thousands of new applicants and multiple new markets. Almost every project will require cross functional collaboration across the entire home buying process. You will work alongside a team of 40+ engineers, 6 product managers, 10 data scientists and analysts, and about 350 other employees working on different parts of the business.
Engineering Opportunities
Buying thousands of homes a year requires effective and intelligent software. There are several different complex workflows that our client's software must support and each one presents them with its own unique set of nuances and challenges. Depending on your interests and career objectives, you will work towards solving challenges across three broad domains:
1. Consumer experience - We want to make finding and buying your next home easier than renting. This involves building an intuitive application experience, nurturing the relationship between applicants and agents, recommending homes, and hand-holding the customer through the process.
2. Data Intelligence - Given that we are a financial product, we need to ensure that we are selecting the right candidates into our program (those with a high likelihood of becoming homeowners), and pricing our offering as fairly and accurately as possible. You would work alongside our data-science team to visualize models and leverage our datasets to reduce risk and build a more effective product.
3. Scaling Workflows - Our goal is to buy thousands of homes in the coming years. Buying a home involves considerable complexity, and we want to remove as much human touch from this as possible. We need to build and support multiple workflows and UI’s automatically underwrite customers, generate competitive offers, thoroughly and thoughtfully inspect homes, support and service our tenants, and much more.
