Job description

We're looking for a Senior to Staff level Software Engineer to help lead development on our core platform. You'll be shipping production code on day one, owning features end-to-end, and working closely with the team to build the infrastructure that powers the future of home lending.

What You'll Work On

  • Build and launch complex, multi-step AI agents that automate mortgage operations workflows
  • Integrate with third-party lending APIs for document generation, automated underwriting, and fraud prevention
  • Architect and scale our job processing infrastructure on AWS
  • Develop full-stack features from design through deployment
  • Contribute to a highly reliable, observable, low-maintenance infrastructure

Tech Stack: TypeScript · React · Node/Express · GraphQL/Apollo · PostgreSQL · AWS (ECS, RDS, ElasticCache, Kafka, ElasticSearch) · Terraform · Docker

Requirements

Must-haves:

  • Strong TypeScript/JavaScript skills with examples of complex systems built hands-on
  • Proven track record of shipping real products end-to-end
  • Experience building full-stack web features in a fast-moving environment
  • AWS infrastructure experience
  • Ability to design and scale complex relational DB schemas
  • SRE mindset - you care about reliability, observability, and low operational overhead, * Familiarity with AI product development (evals, experiment design, dataset curation)
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
  • Experience scaling high-throughput distributed systems
  • Active GitHub profile

You'll thrive here if you:

  • Have a builder/self-starter mentality and own projects from start to finish
  • Are product-oriented and think beyond just the code
  • Have a keen eye for security (we handle sensitive personal financial data)
  • Are excited to mentor and grow less senior engineers

About the company

We're an AI-first fintech startup on a mission to modernize the mortgage industry. Our platform automates mortgage origination workflows - an industry that still runs on 20-year-old software and costs lenders over $11,000 per loan to originate. We've processed over $85 billion in home loans, recently closed a $30M funding round, and are growing fast. If you want to work on something that touches trillions of dollars in financial assets and has real impact on homebuyers across the US, this is it. We're a fully remote team that moves fast, ships often, and cares deeply about doing great work together.
