I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Opendoor (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
Started with a recruiter call basically talking about my experiences and what the company did.
Afterwards, moved to a technical screen where I was asked a set of coding problems (standard).
Was asked to an all day onsite afterwards where I was asked to bring my laptop and was assigned a room where 4 different engineers came to ask me front-end and back-end coding assignments in a pair program scenario with the last one being a system architecture question. Lunch in between with a hiring manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Build a component with React specified by the interviewer.
Write an object oriented module in javascript that can be tested (specified by interviewer)
Jeopardy board with react
System architecture for one of Opendoor's features.
Failed at HR call. Profile might not be that much match, they are looking for backend leaning role but I did more front end works instead. HR might not look up my resume carefully.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Opendoor (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2025
Interview
Very easy and straightforward very nice people enjoyed the conversation that we had a lot and benefitted a lot from it so I would thank them for that
Overall the interview is structured and chill and straightforward with a pretty laid back vibe
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Opendoor
Interview
There was a phone screen which was followed by an onsite interview with 4-5 interviews, some technical, others behavioral. It was interesting that they included some ML-based questions in the SWE interview. Afterward, I heard back pretty quickly.
