Job Description

We're Changing the Rentals Industry

We're a profitable, growth-stage company building industry-leading martech and data SaaS products for the rentals industry. While originally known for building and operating one of the U.S.'s largest rental marketplaces - Rentable, we recently launched a martech product and a competitive intelligence software - ApartmentIQ, both with high growth rates.

We're a 100% remote team of 100 spread across the U.S. from coast to coast. While we enjoy the flexibility of remote work, we get the entire department together 3 times a year to have fun and work hard in person.

While we've raised $30MM to date from some of the world's best investors, we're profitable with a strong balance sheet and an indefinite runway. We pride ourselves on achieving rapid growth without having to incinerate capital.

If you like the idea of joining an industry-changing company made up of people who genuinely like each other, ApartmentIQ could be a great fit for you.

With four years of public data and over 30 million units tracked nationwide, ApartmentIQ provides unmatched insights for multifamily operators.
