Company info

  • We're looking for Infra Engineers to join our Foundation team.
  • This team keeps the platform stable and the developers productive.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • we're scaling fast, and our infrastructure needs to keep up.
