## About the Role

* Is deeply curious
 * Wants to won features from design to development to deployment to maintence
 * Is willing to put the work in to solve the hardest of problems

## Description

We're looking for Infra Engineers to join our Foundation team. This team keeps the platform stable and the developers productive. That's it. Two jobs, both critical.

We'll be honest: we're scaling fast, and our infrastructure needs to keep up. We need people who've seen systems under pressure and know how to make them reliable - not just "works on my machine" reliable, but "processes millions of dollars in mortgage transactions" reliable.

Your customers aren't borrowers - they're the engineers sitting next to you. When you make deploys faster, monitoring clearer, or incidents rarer, the entire company ships better software. The feedback loop is instant: your teammates will tell you, loudly, when something is great or when something is broken.

Here Is What You'll Do

 * Keep highly available systems highly available. We process mortgage transactions that can't go down. You'll design, monitor, and improve the infrastructure that makes that possible.
 * Make developers more productive. Slow builds, flaky tests, painful deploys - these are your enemies. You'll build tooling and infrastructure that lets the rest of the team move fast with confidence.
 * Be a groundskeeper of the codebase. You'll help maintain code quality, teach best practices, and mentor junior engineers. The Foundation team sets the standard for how we build software.
 * Fight fires and prevent them. When something breaks, you'll help fix it. More importantly, you'll build the systems and practices that keep things from breaking in the first place.
 * Work with instant feedback. Your customers are your coworkers. They'll tell you what's working and what's not - no surveys, no quarterly reviews, just direct, honest feedback every day.

Tech Stack

 * AWS (our cloud home)
 * TypeScript
 * Graphite (stacked PRs and developer workflow)
 * Honeycomb (observability)
 * GitHub Codespaces (development environments)
 * Temporal.io (workflow orchestration)
 * SQL (PostgreSQL)
 * GraphQL
 * AI-driven development tooling and agentic infrastructure
