Job Details

Overview

Software Engineer - ML Pricing role at Opendoor. Pricing is at the core of our product and our models influence high-stakes decisions in real estate across the country. We are looking for a mid-level Software Engineer to join our Pricing & ML team to build and productionize machine learning models that power our pricing engine.

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.

Tech Stack

• Languages: Python
• ML: PyTorch, scikit-learn, MLflow
• Data & Infra: Databricks, Spark, Delta Lake, Airflow, AWS

What You'll Need

• Has 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.
• Is comfortable navigating data pipelines, model training pipelines, and production environments.
• Is fluent in writing maintainable, modular, and testable Python code.
• Is motivated by impact and learning — not just building infrastructure for others.

Bonus Points For

• 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).

Compensation

The base pay range for this position is $143,200-$179,000 annually, plus RSUs and bonuses. Pay within this range varies by work location and may also depend on your qualifications, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. We also offer a comprehensive package of benefits including unlimited PTO, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, and 401(k) to eligible employees.
