The Foundation buyer experience platform helps homebuilders sell more homes, more efficiently, to happier customers. Backed by Y Combinator and a16z.
About the role
You’ll help us build the most trusted, modern customer experience platform in homebuilding — and drag the everyday workflows of a huge, traditional industry into the AI era (with taste, pragmatism, and real-world empathy).
What they're looking for
- We care about craft, curiosity, and follow-through. We’re looking for builders — the kind of engineers who ship, learn, and iterate, with a strong sense of ownership and a bias toward clarity
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience , shipping production software that real users rely on
- Product-minded builder. You care about the “why,” not just the “what,” and you optimize for customer outcomes over internal elegance
- Strong fundamentals + good taste. You write clear, maintainable code, choose sensible abstractions, and know when to keep it simple
- Self-directed and accountable. You can take a goal and run with it — breaking it down, communicating tradeoffs, and delivering without constant oversight
- Comfort with ambiguity. You enjoy the early-days energy: vague problems, fast iteration, and learning by building
