Applied Scientist AI/ML

We’re looking for an Applied Scientist ( ALL LEVELS ) 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.

• Strong software engineering and coding skills in Python, with experience contributing to production codebases
• 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

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with Pyspark and distributed data processing
• Background in search, recommendation systems, or personalization
• Experience working with large language models (LLMs) or vision-language models (VLMs)
