🚀 About HomeCloud

HomeCloud is an innovative proptech startup based out of Raleigh-Durham, NC. It was founded in 2022 by seasoned entrepreneurs who built multiple businesses and raised over $30 million in venture capital. HomeCloud is rethinking the antiquated home inspection process to improve home onboarding and simplify home management. Our digital platform leverages proprietary home data to provide homeowners with valuable home insights, convenient repair/renovation services, and a truly personalized experience based on their home's unique features and characteristics. We recently completed a $3.5M capital raise in an oversubscribed seed round funded by a prominent group of investors and we’ve been growing fast ever since. Now’s a great time to join us on the ground floor of our next phase of growth and help build the future of homeownership through intelligent cloud infrastructure and AI!

🔍 Our Mission

Our aim is to transform homeownership and management from inspection to repairs and renovations and routine maintenance, providing buyers and sellers with better insights into their homes.

🕒 Time Zones

We’re hiring within a range of UTC-6 to UTC+2 (from US Central to Central European Time)
