## About the role

We’re looking for an Applied Scientist to work on some of the hardest quantitative problems at Opendoor. This role will focus primarily on structural modeling, econometrics, optimization, and decision-making under uncertainty, with applications spanning pricing, resale strategy, demand modeling, and risk management.

## What they're looking for

- Experience developing quantitative models to support real-world decision-making under uncertainty
- Strong coding skills in Python, with the ability to move beyond prototyping and implement production-quality scientific code
- Experience with one or more of the following: causal inference, Bayesian modeling, structural modeling, demand forecasting, pricing science, or mathematical optimization
- Comfort working with messy, high-dimensional real-world data and translating ambiguous business problems into rigorous modeling approaches
- Advanced degree (MS or PhD preferred) in statistics, mathematics, economics, operations research, computer science, or another quantitative discipline
- Strong communication and collaboration skills — you’re comfortable working with cross-functional stakeholders and can communicate technical ideas clearly
