Frontend Engineer (Full-Time)

We were founded four years ago to change how real estate is bought and sold. We connect home buyers and sellers with experienced, local real estate agents — and help them save thousands along the way.

Our customers usually find us through our portfolio of websites, where we publish engaging digital content over 10 Million readers per year. Our content has been featured on Forbes, NBC, PBS, Politico and hundreds of other major media outlets — and it's all powered by a cutting-edge React / Gatsby technology platform.

Behind the scenes, our Agent-Matching service is also powered by a suite of technology products — including our Customer Portal, Agent Portal, and trade-secret Agent Matching Platform (AMP) — that have helped drive a 300% growth in just the first half of 2021.

As we continue to grow and develop, we’re excited to expand the tech platforms that already help thousands of customers navigate their real estate journey. Our Product Team has been fully remote since before Covid: expect to join a collaborative, fun and fast-paced team!

Minimum 2 years of relevant full-time frontend engineering experience required.

THE TEAM

We’re a tight-knit and fast-growing team committed to making an impact. Our people come from diverse, and often unconventional backgrounds. We’re all united by our love for our customers, passion for supporting our team, and dedication to building a better real estate journey.
