    Who We Are


    Culdesac is a real estate developer and neighborhood manager of walkable, mixed-use communities designed to embrace a culture of belonging, transportation freedom, and thriving local businesses.

    We built Culdesac Tempe, the first car-free community built from scratch in the US.

    Located directly on the light rail in Tempe, Arizona, it is already home to over 350 residents and 23 local businesses, and it will have 1000+ residents at completion.

    Culdesac is the co-developer and tech-enabled property manager.

    We're headquartered in Tempe, AZ, founded in 2018. CEO Ryan Johnson was on the founding team of Opendoor and has managed property since 2003. Our investors include Khosla Ventures (led OpenAI's seed round), Lennar (#2 U.S. homebuilder), Zigg Capital, and Y Combinator.

    The Role


    As a Senior Investment Associate at Culdesac, you will help drive data-driven decisions by maintaining and expanding our financial infrastructure and investment processes as we scale.

    You will play a key role in our real estate strategy, supporting the analysis of existing and potential locations, as well as related outreach, design, and planning.

    You will report to the Chief Investment Officer, while also working closely with our CEO, cross-functional teams, investment partners, lenders, and other key stakeholders.

    The Requirements


    While this list represents what we are ideally looking for, we encourage you to apply even if your resume includes strengths and experiences that don't match everything listed here.

    Our Values

    As sprawl became commonplace in our cities, we grew less connected to each other. We normalized hour-long commutes, even as private vehicle ownership became the largest source of carbon pollution. Cars and roads began to dictate development decisions and shape urban life. At Culdesac, we blend technology, real estate, and culture to reimagine daily living.

    Come help us make our residents happier, healthier, and more productive both in the years they spend with us and in the moments they share together.


    At Culdesac, we:
    Work as a team
    Be inclusive, drawing on the strengths of people who bring a different perspective.
    Find ways to work together that overcome disciplinary and geographic separations.

    Act from ownership
    Be output oriented. When we see a problem, we roll up our sleeves and fix it.
    Don't let blockers stop you from seeing your work through to the end.

    Rule 0, then iterate

    Don't start from scratch:
    learn from our own and others' previous attempts.
    Before mass private car ownership, all cities were models of walkability. We learn from the designs of the past and make them beautiful and relevant to today.
    Then, we learn from our own designs to continually improve.

    Design for humans
    Ask people for feedback and observe behavior. Only users know if we're creating value for them.
    Human paradoxes and contradictions are our opportunity to create joy.
    Respect the limits of what we can know and plan. In the complex organism of a city, emergent behavior rules.

    Create and capture value
    Focus on what our residents value: profitability is essential for sustainability and allows us to scale.
    Great places create positive externalities for ourselves and our neighbors, unlike the negative externalities of cars.
    We build value by executing on the fundamentals and excelling at mobility, community, and open space.
