TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Node.js, AWS

My client builds AI-native tooling to automate mortgage workflows. Our ultimate goal is fully automated origination, which has the potential to save lenders over $16B in operating expense per year.

Since starting in 2020, our remote team has enabled our customers to power >$85 billion in new home loans. We are a group of people excited to tackle the complexity of the home-lending industry. We care about collaboration, very open communication covering the good & the bad so that we learn from our decisions quickly, and ultimately having fun while we're building. You'll fit in well if you like diving deep quickly!

The Opportunity

Our dreams are big and we have much to build! We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help lead our team in powering the future of home buying in the US (which could entail managing a majority of US home loans every year - financial assets worth trillions of dollars).

Requirements:

• 5 - 25 years of experience as a Staff/Senior Software Engineer with full- stack web app development skills from design through deployment
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript with examples of complex systems or products they've built hands- on.
• React on the frontend, Node/Express on the backend (running inside Docker), GraphQL/Apollo on both sides, and Postgres as our database.
• Experience scaling high- throughput distributed systems in the cloud with AWS and Terraform
• Must have a proven track record of building and shipping real products end- to- end, ideally in high- pressure or zero- to- one environments.
• We are specifically prioritizing candidates who are: shipping production code fast, building full- stack web features end- to- end, and ideally experience in a remote startup environment.
• Designing and scaling complex relational DB schemas
• Familiarity with modern AI product development lifecycles (evals, experiment design, dataset curation, etc).
• SRE- oriented mindset (reliable, observable, low- toil infra)
• Have done real work/projects in previous roles and owned projects from start to finish.
• Product- oriented
• Self- starter / builder mentality
• Keen eye for security risks
• Excitement to mentor less senior engineers

What To Expect

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll continue our team tradition by shipping code to production on your first day! Following that, within your first month, you'll dive into your first mission-critical project, such as...

• Architecting, building, and launching complex, multi-step AI agents that our customers use to digitize their ops workflows and save millions of dollars per year.
• Integrating with 3rd-party providers of lending services APIs to generate documents/disclosures, produce automated underwriting results, or prevent fraud.
• Architecting, building, and launching the next generation of our job processing infrastructure on AWS to make our back end more observable and reliable.

Tech Stack

Nearly all of our code is written in TypeScript. We use React on the frontend, Node/Express on the backend (running inside Docker), GraphQL/Apollo on both sides, and Postgres as our database. We use AWS (ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, Kafka, ElasticSearch, and more) and manage all of our infrastructure with Terraform.

We believe that high engineering velocity drives high product velocity (and, in turn, our success as a company). Keeping this in mind, we've invested heavily in creating a great developer experience that enables engineers to ship fast. Some highlights of our stack:

• End-to-End Type Safety - We generate TypeScript types from our Postgres and GraphQL schemas so that when we change our database schema we see type errors in any incompatible frontend React components.
• Full-Stack Code Sharing - Our build tooling supports seamless sharing of TypeScript files between the client, server, and other packages in our mono-repo so that we never have to define functions or configuration values twice.
• Reproducible Infrastructure - We've used Terraform to manage 100% of our infrastructure since day 1 and have configured our CI pipeline to automatically deploy temporary staging environments for every pull request.
• First Class Testing Utilities - We have a comprehensive library of utilities that mock production-like data and feed automated end-to-end, integration, and performance tests. Our wide-ranging test suite allows us to move fast while maintaining nearly perfect uptime.
