At Opendoor our mission is to tilt the world in favor of homeowners and those who aim to become one. Homeownership matters. It's how people build wealth, stability, and community. It's how families put down roots, how neighborhoods strengthen, how the future gets built. We're building the modern system of homeownership giving people the freedom to buy and sell on their own terms. We’ve built an end-to-end online experience that has already helped thousands of people and we’re just getting started.

What You'll Do
- Build intelligent agents and automation that eliminate manual toil—provisioning access, configuring devices, onboarding employees, and maintaining compliance without human intervention.
- Architect integrations across corporate platforms (Okta, HRIS, MDM, SaaS management) to create seamless automated employee lifecycle experiences.
- Partner with stakeholders across HR, Finance, Security, and Operations to understand their workflows, identify automation opportunities, and deliver software solutions that increase their velocity.
- Build security guardrails and observability into corporate infrastructure that enables teams to move safely and fast.
- Apply Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, DevOps/GitOps, and software engineering best practices to corporate systems.
- Languages: Python, Go, Ruby, Terraform
- Corporate Platforms: Okta, AWS, Google Workspace, Slack, NetSuite, Rippling, Jamf, CrowdStrike
- Engineering: AWS, GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
- AI Tools: Claude, OpenAI, agent frameworks, workflow automation
- Deep conviction that AI and automation should eliminate manual work humans shouldn't be doing anyway. You're excited to experiment rapidly with AI agents, LLM integrations, and intelligent workflow orchestration.
- 8 years of software engineering experience with Python, Go, or similar languages, with strong skills in API development, systems integration, and automation platforms.
- Strong experience with public cloud platforms (AWS preferred) including serverless architectures, infrastructure automation, and CI/CD pipeline development.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and modern DevOps practices including GitOps, automated testing, and observability.
- Proven problem-solving ability to understand complex business workflows, identify automation opportunities, and design elegant technical solutions.
- Humility and genuine curiosity—you're as excited to automate employee onboarding as you are to architect distributed systems, and you see eliminating mundane work as deeply meaningful engineering. You genuinely enjoy understanding user needs, partnering with non-technical stakeholders, and building software that makes their work easier.
- Experience with corporate IT APIs and platforms (Okta, Google Workspace, MDM systems, HRIS, financial systems)
