Software Engineer - Frontend - Sr. Level or Higher

<h2><strong>About Opendoor</strong></h2> <p>Opendoor’s mission is to power life’s progress, one move at a time. We’re building a modern, digital experience for buying and selling homes, making it simple, certain, and fast for our customers.</p> <p>The Product Engineering organization builds the surfaces and systems that sellers and buyers interact with every day—from our home valuation flows and dashboards to new products that unlock more choice and flexibility for customers</p> <h2><strong>About the Role</strong></h2> <p>We’re looking for a <strong>Senior level or higher</strong> Frontend Engineer to join our Product Engineering org, working across the Seller and Growth teams. This is a frontend-focused role: you’ll own complex UI and application architecture, help evolve our shared UI library &amp; design system, and raise the bar for frontend quality and developer experience across our React and Next.js apps.</p> <p>Our Seller and Growth teams operate very much like a startup within Opendoor: we move quickly, bias toward action, and cut through unnecessary red tape to ship value to customers. In return, you’ll get meaningful breadth and ownership — the sky is effectively the limit for scope and impact if you’re excited to lean in, drive clarity, and push projects over the finish line.</p> <p>You’ll partner closely with design, product, and other engineers to:</p> <ul> <li>Ship seller- and growth-focused product features that move business and customer metrics.</li> <li>Evolve our component library and frontend tooling so teams can build high-quality experiences faster and more consistently.</li> <li>Improve the foundations of our React / TypeScript / GraphQL stack, including performance, accessibility, and reliability.</li> </ul> <p>This role is a great fit if you enjoy combining deep frontend engineering with product thinking and platform-minded design system work.</p> <h2><strong>What You’ll Do</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>Build high-impact consumer features</strong></li> <ul> <li>Design and implement end-to-end experiences in our React and Next.js applications (and other non-Next React apps) that power seller onboarding, offers, dashboards, and re-engagement flows.</li> <li>Work closely with PMs, designers, and data partners to scope, ship, and iterate on features that directly impact funnel conversion, engagement, and retention.</li> </ul> <li><strong>Lead frontend architecture &amp; quality</strong></li> <ul> <li>Own and evolve frontend architecture in critical surfaces: routing, data-fetching patterns, state management, error handling, and performance.</li> <li>Define patterns for SSR/SSG and hydration in our Next.js apps (and influence adoption of frameworks like Next.js / Remix where appropriate).</li> <li>Drive best practices for testing (unit, integration, and visual), type safety, and accessibility (a11y).</li> </ul> <li><strong>Level up our UI library &amp; design system</strong></li> <ul> <li>Contribute to and help steward our shared React component library (buttons, forms, layouts, navigation, data visualization, etc.) used across Seller, Growth, and other consumer surfaces.</li> <li>Partner with Design to keep the system cohesive and accessible, including tokens, theming, responsiveness, and interaction patterns.</li> <li>Improve the tooling &amp; workflows around the design system—e.g., Figma ↔ code integrations, Storybook-style documentation, automated snapshot/visual testing, and codegen/automation that reduce manual handoff and drift.</li> </ul> <li><strong>Improve developer experience and productivity</strong></li> <ul> <li>Identify friction in our frontend workflows (local dev, CI, smoke tests, visual regression tests, feature flags, experimentation hooks) and lead projects to streamline them.</li> <li>Contribute to internal documentation, examples, and starter patterns that make it easier for other engineers to build high-quality UI quickly and safely.</li> </ul> <li><strong>Mentor and collaborate</strong></li> <ul> <li>Provide technical mentorship and thoughtful code review for other engineers across Seller &amp; Growth.</li> <li>Partner with other leads in Product / Consumer Engineering to influence roadmap and make tradeoffs between foundational investments and product delivery.</li> </ul> </ul> <h2><strong>Our Stack</strong></h2> <p>You don’t need to know everything on day one, but these are the technologies you’ll work with most often:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Frontend:</strong> React, TypeScript, Next.js, modern React patterns (hooks, suspense, etc.)</li> <li><strong>APIs &amp; Data:</strong> GraphQL, RESTful services</li> <li><strong>Tooling:</strong> Webpack/Vite tooling (or equivalents), Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress/Playwright or similar, Storybook-like component docs</li> <li><strong>Design &amp; Collaboration:</strong> Figma, shared UI libraries / design systems, feature flagging and A/B testing platforms</li> </ul> <h2><strong>What We’re Looking For</strong></h2> <p><strong>Required</strong></p> <ul> <li>8+ years of professional experience building modern web applications with React or a comparable framework.</li> <li>Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React, including component composition, hooks, and state management patterns.</li> <li>Hands-on experience working with GraphQL APIs (queries, mutations, caching patterns), or equivalent deep experience with well-structured REST APIs plus a willingness to ramp on GraphQL.</li> <li>Experience architecting complex frontend systems—e.g., routing, data-fetching strategies, error handling, performance optimization, and client-side state management.</li> <li>Demonstrated experience owning medium-to-large features end-to-end: from technical design and tradeoff discussions through implementation, rollout, and iteration.</li> <li>A product mindset: you care about impact, UX details, and making pragmatic tradeoffs rather than just shipping code.</li> <li>Strong communication and collaboration skills; comfort partnering with design, product, and other engineering teams.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Nice to Have</strong></p> <ul> <li>Experience with SSR/SSG frameworks like Next.js or Remix (routing, data-fetching, streaming, caching strategies).</li> <li>Experience contributing to or owning a design system / component library (tokens, theming, documentation, visual regression testing, API design for components).</li> <li>Familiarity with Figma-to-code workflows, design tooling APIs, or other ways of tightening the loop between design and implementation.</li> <li>Experience improving frontend build &amp; deploy pipelines, smoke tests, or CI for React/Next.js apps.</li> <li>Comfort reading and integrating with backend APIs and services (e.g., Go, Ruby, or similar server-side stacks), even if your core strength is frontend.</li> </ul> <h2><strong>Why Opendoor</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>Impact at scale:</strong> Your work will touch a high-volume seller funnel and help define how people sell their homes with more confidence and control.</li> <li><strong>Interesting technical problems:</strong> You’ll work on complex frontend architecture, design systems, performance, and experimentation in a business-critical domain.</li> <li><strong>Strong peers:</strong> Join a group of thoughtful engineers, PMs, designers, and data partners who care deeply about quality, learning, and building great products together.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Ownership and growth:</strong> Senior engineers at Opendoor are expected to lead meaningful projects, shape technical direction, and grow into broader scope over time.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em>The base pay range for this position based on level is $186,000 - $294,000 annually, plus RSUs and bonuses.
