Backed by the investors in Facebook and Amazon, Redfin just became profitable, and is doubling revenues every year. Because of our progressive mission, we look for people whose passion is using technology to make the world a better place. We also like scavenger hunts, Settlers of Catan, ski trips, bicycle races and Liberace, so hopefully you know how to have a good time, too.
Redfin has twice made Time Magazine's list of Top 50 websites (in 2007 and 2009). Do you have what it takes to keep us there?
