About Housr Housr is a fast-growing, well-backed Series A tech company on a mission to radically improve the student rental experience across the globe. The company was founded after co-founders Harry and Ben experienced first‑hand how broken, stressful and outdated student renting felt while at university and decided there had to be a better way. Since then, Housr has grown rapidly across the UK and the US, partnering with leading colleges and operators to create a fairer, simpler and more transparent rental journey for students and parents alike. We now operate across our 3 offices – Manchester, Chicago and New York. In 2025, Housr hit $10m ARR before raising a $10m Series A, giving us the runway and ambition to scale rapidly! Today, we’re a close‑knit global team of ~45 people (plus a large student brand ambassador network), with engineering at the heart of everything we build. Under the leadership of our founders, Harry Neil Panter and Ben Clayton, the focus is clear: move fast, build with purpose, and make a genuine impact on student lives. This is a pivotal moment to join – we’re looking to double the engineering team and enter the most ambitious product phase in Housr’s history.
