Agentic Analytics Engineer

Opendoor•Seattle, WA

9h•$186,000 - $256,000

About The Position

As a Senior+ Agentic Analytics Engineer at Opendoor, you will join the Data organization and help build something that doesn't exist at most companies: an Agentic Analytics team. This is a high-impact IC role at the intersection of data science, data engineering, and AI. Opendoor has adopted a "Default to AI" philosophy—if AI can handle it, AI should handle it. We're not theorizing about AI transformation; we're shipping it. Why This Role Most analytics teams are stuck in reactive mode—fielding ad-hoc requests and building dashboards that go stale. We're building something different: AI systems that proactively tell leaders what they should focus on, why it matters, and what to do about it. If you want to define what analytics looks like in an AI-first company, this is it.
