About Opendoor
At Opendoor our mission is to tilt the world in favor of homeowners and those who aim to become one. Homeownership matters. It's how people build wealth, stability, and community. It's how families put down roots, how neighborhoods strengthen, how the future gets built. We're building the modern system of homeownership giving people the freedom to buy and sell on their own terms. We’ve built an end-to-end online experience that has already helped thousands of people and we’re just getting started.
About The Role
Opendoor is looking for an AI and automation-forward analyst to help simplify and streamline our Payroll and Equity Operations. You’ll work directly with the team to identify opportunities and build AI agents, reusable skills, and automated workflows that save time and improve accuracy. This role requires solid, hands-on AI experience. Payroll or equity experience is a plus, but it is not required. Reporting to the Payroll Manager, you’ll partner with Payroll, Equity, Accounting, and the People team to turn operational challenges into practical, reliable solutions.
Your Responsibilities Will Include
This role is based in one of our offices, in-person four days per week. We're looking for candidates who are enthusiastic about an in-office culture; people who want to build alongside their teammates, not from a distance.
