We’re Changing the Rentals Industry

We’re a profitable, growth-stage company building industry-leading martech and data products for the rentals industry. While originally known for building and operating one of the U.S.’s largest rental marketplaces - Rentable, our focus has shifted to our category-leading AI and data SaaS products with triple-digit growth rates.

We’re a fully remote team of 100+ spread across the U.S. from coast to coast. We operate on a strict no a**holes policy and are proud to have built a community of highly performing people that take our work seriously, but not ourselves.

While we’ve raised $30MM+ to date from some of the world’s best investors, we’re profitable with a strong balance sheet and an indefinite runway. We pride ourselves on achieving rapid growth without having to incinerate capital.

If you like the idea of joining an industry-changing company made up of people who genuinely like each other, Rentable could be a great fit for you.

Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with Product and Application Engineering to ensure new datasets unlock measurable features and actionable customer insights.
Ensure Operational Excellence: Build strong observability into our systems, including daily monitoring, anomaly detection, and automated alerts to maintain ingest health.

Who You Are

Technical Expert: You are a senior level engineer who enjoys being hands on while thinking strategically about the platform's growth.
Problem Solver: You don’t just build pipelines; you build solutions that solve real world problems for our users.
Reliable Owner: You thrive in an environment where you are given the autonomy to take a project from initial concept to full deployment.
Strategic Thinker: You understand how technical decisions impact business outcomes and prioritize your work accordingly.
