### About Sparen
**Fast. Simple. Flexible. Real estate without the hassle.**
Navigating real estate transactions is hard, especially for the first time.
Believe it or not, over a million people decide to skip the traditional
process altogether and go the DIY route, selling or buying properties on
platforms like Facebook and Craigslist. It's a massive $150 billion market,
but surprisingly, there aren't any solid solutions out there to make it
easier. Well, that's where we come in.
We’re building the world’s first real estate marketplace that uses predictive
algorithms rather than people to guide users through transactions in a matter
of hours, rather than months.
### About The Role
(This is a contract-to-hire position)
We're on the hunt for top-notch engineers who have the potential to be the
future leaders of our engineering team and tech culture at Sparen. We're all
about finding purpose-driven individuals with sharp minds, folks who love
diving into challenging problems and making a real impact. If you're
passionate about solving tough puzzles and driving meaningful change, we want
to hear from you. Join us as we build something incredible together.
### What you’ll do –

thick of things, playing a crucial role in shaping and defining the user
experience for our diverse range of customers.

**Collaborate with the team.** Be a mentor, through and through. You'll have
the opportunity to guide and support your fellow peers, executives, and hey,
maybe even your own team of junior devs. Sharing your knowledge and expertise
is where the magic happens. Whether it's helping your colleagues grow,
providing guidance to top-level folks, or nurturing a talented bunch of
aspiring developers, mentoring is key.
