About the role

  • INTRODUCTION Foundation https://buildwithfoundation.com/ is hiring great engineers to accelerate our core business, modernize homebuilding, and transform the experience of buying, selling, and owning homes.
  • ABOUT FOUNDATION Backed by $6.8M in funding from leading VCs (including Y Combinator), Foundation is an ex-Opendoor team transforming residential real estate.
  • The enterprise ecosystem for real estate.

Responsibilities

  • Ship product that matters. Build features that improve how builders operate and how buyers experience the home buying journey - fast feedback, frequent releases, and measurable outcomes.
  • Own problems end-to-end. Take ambiguous, high-impact problems from "what should we do?" to "it's live, monitored, and loved."
  • Build calm, composable systems. Create software that's easy to understand, extend, and operate - the kind of codebase that makes other engineers better.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, shipping production software that real users rely on.
  • You can take a goal and run with it - breaking it down, communicating tradeoffs, and delivering without constant oversight.
  • Comfort with ambiguity.
  • You work well with designers, PMs, and non-engineers - you can explain, listen, and align.
  • Experience in SaaS, workflow products, marketplaces, or enterprise-facing systems
  • Familiarity with multi-tenant architectures, permissions/security, and data modeling

Company info

  • Work close to customers. Learn how builders think, observe where their tools break down, and build solutions that feel obvious in hindsight.
