Opendoor is looking for a Software Engineer - ML Pricing to join the Pricing & ML team. In this mid-level role, you will work side-by-side with applied researchers to build and productionize the machine learning models that power Opendoor's pricing engine, focusing on delivering value and system reliability.
What You'll Do
- Work closely with researchers and analysts to assist the development of pricing models, and convert prototypes into robust, production-grade code.
- Own and operate model pipelines end-to-end — including training, validation, versioning, deployment, and monitoring.
- Contribute to shared ML infrastructure and tooling as needed, while staying focused on solving business-critical problems.
- Support day-to-day pricing model operations and address real-world ML lifecycle challenges like retraining, data drift, and model decay.
- Navigate real estate-specific ML challenges (heterogeneous data, complex seasonality, sparse regions, high financial stakes).
- Drive engineering best practices within the ML codebase — maintainable, testable, and scalable systems.
What We're Looking For
- 2–4 years of experience in software engineering, ideally with exposure to machine learning workflows.
- Enjoys working closely with data scientists and researchers and has strong collaboration and communication skills.
- Comfortable navigating data pipelines, model training pipelines, and production environments.
- Fluent in writing maintainable, modular, and testable Python code.
- Motivated by impact and learning — not just building infrastructure for others.
Nice to Have
- Experience working on ML systems in business-critical environments (e.g., pricing, forecasting, logistics).
- Familiarity with tools like MLflow, Airflow, Delta Lake, or Spark.
- An interest in real estate or other messy, high-stakes domains with imperfect data.
- Experience monitoring model performance in production (e.g., drift detection, quality alerts).
Technical Stack
- Python, PyTorch, scikit-learn
- MLflow, Databricks, Spark, Delta Lake, Airflow
- AWS
Team & Environment
You will be part of the Pricing & ML team, working side-by-side with applied researchers and modelers.
Benefits & Compensation
- Compensation: $143,200-$179,000 annually + equity: RSUs
- Unlimited PTO
- Medical/dental/vision insurance
- Life insurance
- 401(k)
