Join our dynamic and innovative team as an Applied Scientist in Miami, focusing on tackling complex quantitative challenges at Opendoor. This senior-level position involves developing structural models, econometrics, optimization techniques, and decision-making frameworks under uncertainty, impacting areas like pricing, resale strategy, demand modeling, and risk management. You will build practical solutions by combining strong modeling intuition with hands-on engineering skills in Python, while working closely with Engineering, Product, and Operations to implement these models into production systems. Ideal candidates have advanced degrees in quantitative fields and experience with causal inference, Bayesian modeling, or mathematical optimization. Familiarity with real estate data and distributed data processing tools like PySpark is a plus. This role offers the opportunity to shape both the modeling direction and its application in high-stakes business decisions.
