Founding Engineer - Camphor - San Francisco

About Us: Camphor, backed by Pear VC, is solving the lead nurturing problem plaguing real estate agents, teams, and brokerages using AI. We help our customers with nurturing their buyer and seller leads in order to help them close more deals through our email and SMS automations we’ve built on top of their CRMs. Why join Camphor? This is the best time to join a real estate startup! In March 2024, the National Association of Realtors settled a lawsuit which allows real estate agents to set their own commissions, thereby creating more competition. Camphor enables these agents to make up any lost revenue on lower commission rates by closing more deals in this $100 billion industry. More importantly, the founders are both product driven engineers with backgrounds in real estate and have made significant progress in growing the business. You’ll be joining a rocket ship at the absolute earliest of stages!
