About the job

Zumper is on a mission to make renting an apartment as easy as booking a hotel. With 70 million users (1 in 3 US adults) and 150 million visits, we are empowering people to rent smarter. Our success has generated support from top-tier investors for a total of $140m in funding (Series D). We realize that changing the way the world rents requires passion, bold ideas, and bright minds. Join us and build the future of renting, Today.

 

About this Opportunity

 

We are looking for an experienced Architect (Python) to build and support the infrastructure that underpins our diverse partnership integrations.

What You Will Do

 

Your responsibilities will include ensuring that our backend integrations run efficiently and reliably, creating new integrations with new and old partners, and proactive planning for expansion.
