Help us bring the entire real estate market into One Place


We're building One Place – the world's most powerful real estate search engine. Over 5 million properties across Europe are scattered across 1000+ websites. We use AI to bring them together into a single, unified platform and we’re developing our own machine learning models to understand property images, extract meaningful features, and assess quality automatically.


Our goal isn’t to sell listings it’s to make real estate information accurate, transparent, and unbiased. Every property is analyzed and presented on its own merits, helping users make informed decisions rather than follow ads.


What You'll Do


You'll build the infrastructure that powers it all:


Data Infrastructure & Integration

  • Ingest and organize data from 1000+ diverse sources including real estate listings, geospatial data, and public datasets.
  • Manage pipelines handling 5+ million property listings and 50+ million images, ensuring data is clean, consistent, and highly structured.
  • Design efficient data models and keep every SQL query optimized for large-scale performance.


Scalable Backend & Search Systems
