Research / Senior Research Scientist

Office - Washington-Seattle; San Francisco, California, United States

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Research / Senior Research Scientist to push the boundaries of applied machine learning and AI at Opendoor. While this role will have a significant impact on our valuation systems — ensuring we provide the most accurate and transparent pricing possible — the scope goes well beyond pricing. You'll work across a range of challenging ML problems, from multi-modal modeling to operational optimization, helping us rethink how we use structured and unstructured data to make better decisions for our customers.

What You'll Need

• Strong software engineering and coding skills in Python, with experience contributing to production codebases
• 5+ years of experience developing and deploying ML models end-to-end — from research and prototyping to implementation in production systems
• Hands-on experience with deep learning architectures, including ConvNets, Transformers, or similar
• Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in computer science, statistics, mathematics, or a related quantitative field
• Solid foundation in statistics and experimental design
• Strong communication and collaboration skills — you're comfortable working with cross-functional stakeholders and can communicate technical ideas clearly
