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.
