Point | Palo Alto, CA | Software Engineer | existing H1B VISA holders welcome
Point (https://point.com) takes the biggest single asset that most folks have in their lifetime - the home - and makes it liquid, divisible and tradable. Point's first product lets homeowners "sell" fractional equity in their home. There are no monthly repayments -- instead, homeowners get a tax-deferred lump sum now and the investor “exits” when the homeowner sells the property.
We’re using Rails and will build services in Go as we scale. The ideal candidate is comfortable with back-end design + implementation, has the potential to be dangerous on the front-end, can build micro-services, and is thoughtful about product and design.
Andreessen Horowitz led our initial 3M seed in January; Bloomberg, Greylock, Ribbit Capital, SV Angel and a few others also participated. We're super-early -- five folks as of last week -- and looking to build an exceptional team that wants to change how folks think about homeownership.
