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.

The Role

You will define the future user experience, ensuring that exceptional design creates customer value and achieves critical business outcomes. This role requires an analytical mindset to simplify complex UX problems and develop easy-to-use solutions that directly impact business growth.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll lead and mentor a talented team of 3 product designers, shape design across all product lines, and set a high bar for craft—while still designing meaningful parts of the product yourself.

  • You have experience working on a small design team and "doing it all".
  • You enjoy going deep on both UX and UI work.
