About The Position

Foundation is hiring a lead designer to accelerate our core business, modernize homebuilding, and transform the experience of buying, selling, and owning homes. Foundation is an ex-Opendoor team transforming residential real estate, backed by $6.8M in funding from leading VCs (including Y Combinator). Foundation’s first product is the native customer experience platform for homebuilders — think “Shopify for Homebuilders.” We work with enterprise-scale homebuilders to deliver a modern digital customer experience, dramatically improving both their customer happiness and the productivity of their teams. We’re still in the first of three overlapping phases of growth and company-building: Transformative, AI-driven vertical SaaS for homebuilding — a public-scale opportunity in its own right. The enterprise ecosystem for real estate. The AI-native home operating system and interface. The economic engine of vertical SaaS and the network effects of the enterprise ecosystem fund and fuel the flywheel that enables us to (profitably) deliver the transformative consumer AI experience for homebuyers and homeowners. Find, buy, and operate your home — all with Foundation.
