Revive is a venture-backed proptech company built on the belief that the future starts at home. While most people see renovation as a project, we built it as a path to real wealth for homeowners. By connecting renovation with financing and selling, we create new ways to buy, sell, and unlock value, giving homeowners real control over their biggest asset.

At Revive, ownership is real and impact is visible. We move fast, challenge broken systems, and hold a high bar for clarity and outcomes. If you want to work on problems that matter and see your work translate into real-world change, this is where you will do your best work.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary & benefits in a high-growth, VC-backed company
• Real ownership, clear accountability, and the authority to make decisions that matter
• Direct working relationships with Revive's founders and senior leaders on initiatives that shape how the company grows
• The opportunity to design and build in a company where craft, clarity, and outcomes are valued
• A fast-moving environment where strong work leads to more responsibility and more opportunity
• Flexibility in how and where you work, paired with high expectations for impact
• A culture that values contribution, judgment, and follow-through over titles or tenure
