About REA Group:
In 1995, in a garage in Melbourne, Australia, REA Group was born from a simple question: “Can we change the way the world experiences property?”
Could we? Yes. Are we done? Never.
Fast forward 30 years, REA Group is a market leader in online real estate in three continents and continuing to grow rapidly across the globe. The secret to our growth is staying true to that ‘day one’ mindset; the hunger to innovate, the ambition to change the world, and the curiosity to reimagine the future.
Our new Tech Center in Cyber City is dedicated to accelerating REA Group’s global technology delivery through relentless innovation. We’re looking for the best technologists, inventors and leaders in India to join us on this exciting new journey.
