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.
