Opendoor New Products Team | Product Engineer | Anywhere in US | REMOTE / SF / NYC | Full-time

Opendoor’s mission is to empower everyone with the freedom to move. We believe the traditional real estate process is broken and our goal is simple: build a digital, end-to-end customer experience that makes buying and selling a home simple, certain and fast.

We are a “startup within a startup.” A small, cross-functional team working on one of Opendoor’s next plays. I helped create this team when my previous YC startup was acquihired by Openhood.

For the right candidate, this role should feel like the best of all worlds: the funding, supportive infrastructure and gravitas of a public company; with a full-stack, scrappy team building from scratch, immersing in customer needs, and iterating fast.

Our team is unique within Opendoor, and also for the technology industry more generally. We have c-level executive sponsorship to move fast and independently, and to build from first principles. Our team has experience building from “0 to 1” at Opendoor, Square, Dropbox, Uber, and Y Combinator-backed startups.

It absolutely is, BGP with geographically diverse paths, databases, app servers, etc, are all redundant. It's hosted in-house, so there is a cold standby database in AWS which would only be used if, say, an aircraft crashed into our server rooms.

Could you share what domain your company is in? Just curious what has such HA requirements

I use `z` as a less manual way to search common directories instead of changing $CDPATH. It's based on 'frecency'.

I tried this once or twice but didn't understand what it was really accomplishing compared to just starting tmux normally. Mind me asking you to explain how you use it a little bit?
jnpatel · 5 years ago
tmux panes and windows become native iTerm panes and windows. It allows you to open and split with the iTerm keyboard shortcuts you're used to ⌘N, ⌘T, ⌘D.

Make sure you use `tmux -CC` to launch
