Engineering Manager
Published on July 30, 2024
Rentable is a real estate technology company serving renters and property owners nationwide since 2012.
That’s what we do. But what is Rentable, really?
Rentable is a motivated company seeking to improve upon traditional methods of apartment hunting, with the ultimate goal of empowering renters nationwide by creating an impeccably simple apartment search experience.
That’s who we really are.
We operate today for a very simple reason: apartment hunting in our hometown of Madison, Wisconsin was nearly impossible in 2012. From searching on Craigslist to using other listing sites that lacked any halfway decent inventory, we’d had enough.
We knew there had to be a better way — so we built it ourselves.
We’re Changing the Rentals Industry
We’re a profitable, growth-stage company building industry-leading martech and data SaaS products for the rentals industry. While originally known for building and operating one of the U.S.’s largest rental marketplaces - Rentable, we recently launched a martech product and a competitive intelligence software - ApartmentIQ, both with high growth rates.
We’re a 100% remote team of 90 spread across the U.S. from coast to coast. While we enjoy the flexibility of remote work, we get the entire department together 3 times a year to have fun and work hard in person.
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, ApartmentIQ could be a great fit for you.
