About Housing Anywhere

We change the way people find accommodation around the world. Housing Anywhere is a housing platform where people can rent out rooms to international students. It originally started as a platform where outgoing exchange students can rent out their rooms when they go abroad. Incoming exchange students can rent these rooms. Nowadays, it's a global platform where demand & supply of rooms for international students meet each other.

Position

Your will guide our users through the intimidating experience when looking for a place to live while dealing with the interfaces that we provide to the advertisers who are offering their room. All-in-all, we need to provide high-quality matching and drive trust between the marketplace participants. 

Technologies and tools like React, Redux, SASS/CSS-in-JS, TypeScript and Webpack were used while builduing our client-side app. Our back-end is powered by Go (Golang) backed by a Postgres database and we’re moving to a service oriented architecture (microservices). Easy scaling is possible due to hosting of our server components on a Google Cloud architecture. Since the early days we've been using React, GraphQL and Golang in production environments.

• You are a Product-oriented person who loves developing products that help people

• Basic understanding of what a good burger tastes like
