Full Stack Software Engineer

• The Focus: Building the digital future of home financing by creating seamless, secure, and transparent financial tools for buyers and lenders.
• What You’ll Work On: High-traffic loan origination flows, real-time rate and affordability calculators, secure lead capture systems, compliance-aware data architecture, and deep integrations with third-party lender partner APIs.

• The Focus: Powering what happens after the lead - building the products and backend services that turn renter interest into completed applications and drive rental revenue for property managers and independent landlords.
• What You’ll Work On: Partner-facing portals and promoted-listing products, external partner integrations (application and listing providers), GraphQL services and backend infrastructure at scale, revenue-diversification features, and the data pipelines behind partner performance and reporting.

• Product Delivery: Design, build, and maintain high-traffic features and partner integrations across the full vertical stack (backend, APIs, frontend, infrastructure, databases).
• Engineering Excellence: Write well-tested, production-ready code. Own and enforce test automation standards (unit, integration, E2E) in line with an engineering-owned quality model.
• Operational Ownership: Take full accountability for the operational quality, observability, and reliability of your services—including setting SLOs, monitoring, alerting, and incident response readiness.
• Data & Security: Ensure data integrity, secure engineering practices, and compliance-aware design when handling sensitive consumer, financial, and high-volume marketplace data.
• Modern Workflow Innovation: Leverage and champion the adoption of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Windsurf, Portkey, Gemini) to optimize development workflows.
• Leadership & Collaboration: Drive project delivery with strong personal ownership—managing scope, timelines, and cross-functional dependencies. Communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders to build trust quickly.

• Experience: Bring 2+ years of professional software engineering experience building and scaling distributed systems and high-traffic, consumer-facing products.
• True Full-Stack Capability: Demonstrate proven depth across backend services, RESTful/GraphQL APIs, modern frontend frameworks (React or equivalent), and cloud/DevOps.
• Backend Expertise: Utilize your strong experience with Node.js and microservice architectures.
• Domain Background: Leverage your experience building search, marketplace, listing-based, or financial services products (e.g., loan application flows, rate calculators, lender/partner API integrations).
• Operational Rigor: Take direct ownership of production infrastructure, including observability, SLOs, and incident management.
• Execution: Apply strong project management skills to independently drive features from scoping through delivery in an agile, matrixed environment.
• Education: Hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
• AI Tools: Hands-on experience integrating AI-assisted development tools into your daily workflow.
• Data Architecture: Familiarity with event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS/SNS) and data pipelines (e.g., Snowflake, S3, Aurora, reverse ETL).
• Cloud & DevOps: Experience deploying and operating services on AWS using Kubernetes and containerization.
• Advanced API Design: Familiarity with federated GraphQL architecture.
• Compliance Awareness: Understanding of financial data sensitivity and compliance considerations relevant to consumer financial products (e.g., RESPA, TILA awareness).
