Ten-X (formerly Auction.com) is already the leading online real estate marketplace. Backed by Google Capital, a strong team, and a proven technology platform, we’re now poised to broaden our vision and reshape the way consumer and commercial real estate works online. The vision is not about browsing pretty house pictures, but rather taking the guesswork and inefficiency out of real estate transactions. It’s about buying a home on your phone or tablet, without needing a whole room for the paperwork. It’s about moving real estate online in the same way that others have moved transportation, retail and hospitality, to name a few. In other words, it’s big. We offer competitive compensation, benefits and rewards. But most importantly, we offer the once-in-a-lifetime chance to reimagine an industry. If creating software that changes the way people buy and sell real estate could move you, let us know you’re interested and we’ll tell you more.

Placemakr is a venture-backed startup on a mission to change the future of hospitality and home. With properties in three cities (and many more coming!) we operate a platform that allows buildings to blur the line between hotels and apartments. Our platform is an all-in-one solution which includes property operations, customer acquisitions, and the tech stack to operate with more flexibility than any other company in the market. Our tech-enabled buildings create a one-of-a-kind guest experience and tremendous value in the underlying real estate. Whether a guest or resident is with us for three days or three years, these are more than just spaces to spend the night—they are a place to call home. Our property team members focus on bringing our business to life at each of our buildings with a focus on execution, and resident and guest experience. Our non-property team members focus on supporting property execution and the evolution of the other areas of the platform. The non-property roles are remote-first with the option to work out of our DC or SF offices. We think in-person collaboration and bonding is extremely important, so our remote-first team members participate in quarterly in-person retreats with their teams at various locations across the U.S.
