Who We Are

We’re building the future of real estate — today.

HomeLight is the real estate technology platform powering innovative transactions for top agents, lenders, and their clients. Our technology makes it easier to buy and sell homes, whether that's enabling clients to buy before they sell, find a top agent, or have certainty through a modern closing process. Each year, HomeLight facilitates billions of dollars of residential real estate business on its platform for thousands of agents and loan officers. Our vision is a world where every real estate transaction is simple, certain, and satisfying for all.

Our team breaks barriers every day while staying committed to HomeLight's goals and core values, which is a crucial element to our shared success.

About the Role

HomeLight’s first-ever Associate Product Builder (APB) program fuses product, design, and engineering into one role. As an APB, you’ll join a small AI-native squad to prototype, build, and ship features across our D2C, Home Equity, and Closing Services products—using LLMs, retrieval, and data to improve matches, streamline workflows, and accelerate deals. You’ll learn by shipping with mentorship from senior PMs, designers, and engineers, developing a full-stack builder mindset that blends technical execution with product judgment.

What You’ll Do

• Discover & define: Frame problems, write crisp one-pagers/PRDs, and set success metrics.
  
  
• Prototype fast: Create clickable prototypes using the best-in-class tools (Lovable, V0, Replit, Bolt, etc.) and convert them into MVP products for validation.
  
  
• Build with AI to solve real problems for real estate professionals: Build solutions for real-world problems and users, and take the idea to fruition with the support of product leadership.
  
  
• Ship & learn: Launch behind flags, run A/B tests, analyze results (SQL/Notebooks), iterate.
  
  
• Collaborate deeply: Partner with Design, Eng, Data, and GTM (Sales/Ops/Support).
  
  
• Own quality: Define instrumentation, basic reliability checks, and alerting.
  
  
• Tell the story: Share results, learnings, and next steps with clarity and humility.

What We’re Looking For

• Builder mindset—you learn by shipping, iterate quickly, and embrace feedback.
  
  
• Comfort working with code + AI tooling (Cursor, Claude, Codex, etc.)
  
  
• Product sense and user empathy can turn messy problems into testable hypotheses.
  
  
• Data fluency: define metrics; write basic SQL; interpret experiment readouts.
  
  
• Clear, concise communication across functions and with stakeholders.
  
  
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in a technical or product-adjacent field (or equivalent experience).

Application Process: Show Us What You’ve Built

We’re doing things differently — no resumes, no cover letters.

For this role, we want to see your skills in action. Instead of submitting a traditional application, please record a short (2-minute max) video answering the questions below and showing us something you’ve built that people actually use.

Here’s what to include in your video:

1. Show Your Work — Give us a quick demo of a product, tool, or workflow you’ve built (website, repo, automation, prototype — anything real).
2. How You Built It — Walk us through the process. Which tools or AI technologies did you use? How did you approach solving the problem?
3. Your Impact — Tell us how people have used it, what problem it solved, and what you learned along the way.

That’s it — no resume required. We’re looking for builders, not bullet points.

If you’re ready to apply, submit your 2-minute video demo and include links to any relevant projects, portfolios, or repos.
