👋🏻 Hey, nice to meet you. Welcome to the team! At Buscoresi, we help thousands of students find their next home.

Have you ever booked a hotel or bought a flight on your phone before? Finding a home should be no different. We have built a platform where students can find housing from all over the world. Fast, secure, and 100% digital.

Are you leaving your hometown for university? We can help. Are you going on an exchange? We've got you covered. A Master's degree abroad? Pack up your bags and we will handle the rest.

We are aiming to become the industry standard for student housing in Europe. To achieve this, we are looking for a full-stack developer that can help us build the foundations of a next-gen product-first marketplace for housing as a service.

 

How do we work

⚔️ Human business, but business.

We are building a team that tries its best to take care of each other, but we also hold ourselves accountable when the progress of the company is at risk. We believe this is how teams grow and companies shine.

⛏ We believe in working hard.

There is always hard work at the foundations of technology that makes people's lives easier. Ours is a hard problem to solve, and there's no shortcut to solve it.

📍 We work in person by default.

We understand that personal matters may sometimes arise, and we are flexible in that sense. But we strongly believe nothing beats working in the same place when it comes to performance, communication, and getting the most out of each other on solving problems.

🧭 There is going to be uncertainty.

We have a clear vision, but the path is still to be found. There will be hard times and tough decisions along the way. We embrace uncertainty with excitement, because anything is possible where everything is yet to be discovered.
