Design at HomeQ

We are trying to solve a problem that is deeply human and personal, finding a home. The rental market can be harsh and unforgiving and we are trying to make sure everyone finds a home that is right for them.

It is in our essence to put people first and to understand them. As a relatively young startup you will also have the opportunity to shape and build our design practices within the company.

How we work

We use the ShapeUp methodology from Basecamp. You will be working in a build team with two engineers and as a team you will have a lot of autonomy in how to solve problems.

You can also directly influence the course of our product by participating in pitch discussions, having a say in what we should do next.
