What the role involves
For the first time ever, we are launching an engineering office in Taipei!
We have many years of rental and sales data combining housing inventory listings, purchase and sale transactions, HOA and co-op assessments, property tax histories, and liens recorded. We need a statistical data analyst who can lead a series of high impact projects leveraging the vast amount of information we’ve collected.
Immediate projects include data studies based on U.S. census data, city government open data, and RealtyHop's proprietary databases.
We will also experiment with our mortgage and property tax data to further assist investors with their investment decisions. The candidate is expected to conduct property valuations and present the results based on key metrics, including cap rates, IRR, and equity multiple. We intend to use any findings to revamp our growth and pricing strategies, and our HopScore pricing algorithm.
Requirements Include
- Bachelors Degree or higher in computer science
- Working knowledge of some or all: Excel, HTML, PHP, SQL
- Fluent in English - comfortable discussing technical terms entirely in English
- Experience in real estate or real estate finance a plus
Transferring to the New York office is also possible in future years, but for the majority of 2021, must be full-time in Taipei.
What they ask for
About RentHop
RentHop (www.renthop.com) helps renters find great apartments. We use sophisticated data analysis to rank apartment listings based on their "freshness", their accuracy and completeness and the responsiveness of the manager who listed the apartment on our site. As a renter, you can use list-based or map-based search tools to browse listings and comprehensive search filters to narrow our 100,000+ listings to just the ones you want. It’s easy and fast to reach out to brokers and property managers to schedule viewings and to manage responses. You can also use our innovative "Appointments on Demand" feature, a map showing the real-time locations of brokers and property managers available to show apartments, to reach out and schedule viewings on the fly! For brokers and property managers, RentHop provides a cost-effective, easy-to-use tool to promote your listings, get qualified leads and schedule viewings. You can also post and repost listings on the go using RentHop Manager, our mobile app for brokers and property managers, currently available in the iOS App Store. (You can download the mobile app at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/renthop-manager/id695651355.) Your commitment to give good service will make you stand out on RentHop - our algorithm will credit you for your responsiveness and help give your listings the boost they need to get seen - and rented - by qualified renters. Look for our mobile app for consumers, due out soon! And please let us know any questions, thoughts or comments you may have - we'll look forward to hearing from you! You can reach us at feedback@renthop.com. You can also find us on Facebook, Twitter (@RentHop), Google+ and Pinterest.
