About RentHop

No matter where you're moving to, finding a new home is hard. We're making it better. Join us on our quest to modernize apartment rentals and real estate investments. We are a Y Combinator graduate from the Summer 2009 batch, and have been mostly bootstrapped and profitable ever since.

For the first time ever, we are launching a small Taipei team and have immediate openings in both Taipei and New York.

About the role
Skills: MySQL, PHP

For the first time ever, we are launching an engineering office in Taipei!

We have many years of rental and sales data combining housing inventory listings, purchase and sale transactions, HOA and co-op assessments, property tax histories, and liens recorded. We need a statistical data analyst who can lead a series of high impact projects leveraging the vast amount of information we’ve collected. Immediate projects include data studies based on U.S. census data, city government open data, and RealtyHop's proprietary databases.

We will also experiment with our mortgage and property tax data to further assist investors with their investment decisions. The candidate is expected to conduct property valuations and present the results based on key metrics, including cap rates, IRR, and equity multiple. We intend to use any findings to revamp our growth and pricing strategies, and our HopScore pricing algorithm.

Requirements Include:

  • Bachelors Degree or higher in computer science
  • Working knowledge of some or all: Excel, HTML, PHP, SQL
  • Fluent in English - comfortable discussing technical terms entirely in English
  • Experience in real estate or real estate finance a plus

Transferring to the New York office is also possible in future years, but for the majority of 2021, must be full-time in Taipei.

Technology

Position dependent - we work with lots of data so comfort grabbing, manipulating, and analyzing large data sets is quite important. Our consumer-facing software is running on PHP backed by MySQL. The mobile apps are currently written in Flutter.
