Backend Engineer (Remote)

Salary Competitive

We are re-imagining the $11 trillion U.S. mortgage industry, with a focus on engaging the 53 million homeowners with a mortgage.

We do so by building technology that homeowners, servicers, and lenders need to simplify homeownership.


About the company:

Our mission is to help make life simpler for homeowners.

Buying a home is the biggest financial decision and milestone for most Americans. But homeownership - especially for first-time owners - is complex and stressful.

We experienced this ourselves as first-time homeowners and heard similar stories from hundreds of other homeowners. We founded the company to reduce the complexities of homeownership for all parties involved.

By connecting homeowners, brokers, lenders, servicers, and providers via a digital platform, we facilitate new, creative ways to support millions of Americans.

The incumbent technologies used by mortgage lenders and servicers are decades old, and the borrowers who are served by them increasingly demand modern digital experiences and frictionless financial products throughout the home journey. Our mission is to deliver them at a transformational scale, and to improve lives in one of the world’s largest asset classes.

We are well capitalized, backed by top fintech and mortgage venture funds, and led by seasoned veterans of tech startups and financial marketplaces. 


About the role:

You will be working alongside our exceptional engineering team from Credit Karma, Dropbox, Plaid, and Medium, building a product to engage 53 million homeowners across the United States. We work fast to build prototypes and concepts, integrate with new partners and customers, and launch whatever it takes to make an impact.


What you can expect:

We’re a remote-friendly distributed team that believes in order to succeed we must be greater than the sum of our parts by valuing partnership, creativity, diversity, and growth for each other and the people we serve.


What makes you a good fit:

  • An interest or background in developing solutions for the homeowner journey

  • You are interested in working in cross-functional teams to build projects that deliver value to investors, banks, and borrowers

  • You are skilled at designing, implementing, and evolving data models over time

  • You are skilled at API design

  • You have previous experience with Python, Django, and AWS

  • You are able to work independently in a structured way to make progress despite ambiguity

  • You have 2+ years of software development experience
