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 the 85,000 customers who have selected us 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.
