Opendoor.com - San Francisco, CA - Front-End Engineer
Work with a talented, close-knit team to change the way homes are purchased and sold. We've raised $32m from Khosla and GGV and are looking to grow the front-end engineering team.
Here are a few reasons to spend an hour with us:
1. We're doing something very ambitious that touches 2/3rd of Americans and over $20 trillion of assets.
2. We're early so you'll have the opportunity to grow, help steer the direction of the product and company and have a seat at the table.
3. Buying and selling real estate is a painful process and one of the most difficult, complex and lengthy transactions.
Great point. We built it this past weekend as a 48 hr project, but the bigger vision is to create connections and conversations around locations. Thanks for the feedback!
The range between the highest and lowest db reading at that given moment. The measurements were taking by us, analyzed by Arup (Arup.com), and visualized by Sha Hwang. He literally built it in 2 days and one of the few folks who specialize in data visualization.
We're working on modeling out the data we're collecting to be able to do a noise layer for the entire city (weekend vs. weekday and the time of day as a slider). We're hoping to have a demo up and running in a few weeks.
Great idea Alex. Crowdsourcing the data collection might be a great route... we'd have to account for calibration and consistency of devices, but I think that could all be overcome.
The data is collected with decibel recorders in each intersection. We wanted as many data points as possible so the devices could only last 3.5 days.
We were stopped by two sets of police, business owners, and local residences. But we explained that our goal was to educate new residents the impact of noise and most were excited about the project. We're looking into giving the SF gov't access to the data to work on improvements.
We built out a quick visualization of the noise data we've been collecting in the city. Again, the link is here: http://tendernoise.movity.com.
Our goal for this noise project is to show the affect of noise (from muni, cable cars, bars, people) on the quality of life. We're going to collect and scale the data to other neighborhoods shortly.
Great post Elad. I especially agree with even if the team member is producing, a bad cultural fit can be equally, if not more, detrimental. Rhythm and momentum seem to be critical to startup success and having to pull an early member along can break that.
Unclasses.com allows people passionate about learning to connect. Not sure if anyone has started an MIT thread, but that might be a community of learners that would be interested in collaborating together.
