Senior Backend Engineer

Read before you apply!

Due to working with an international client, we require availability in EST TIME (14-22.30 CEST)

What we’re not:

• Building a CRUD app:

  • We’re building a platform that’s only possible due to deep technology investments and thinking hard from first principles. Cargo-culting what’s come before won’t be sufficient.

  • If you’re looking to do mostly plumbing / lego piece assembling, This project may be very frustrating for you

• A ChatGPT wrapper:

  • Mortgage is a sprawling mess of problems, and there isn't one tool that solves every one of them. We use LLMs, but we've reached for tools in multiple disciplines like mixed-integer linear optimization and programming language research.

• An easy job:

  • We’re building a lot of things from the ground up for the first time. Working at this project is like a research project where you have to ship to intelligent, opinionated customers regularly.

  • It’s basically guaranteed you’ll be handed a task that is too difficult for you to do. You might fail sometimes. You might have no idea where to start. Our team leans heavily on each other, but there’s no getting around the difficulties.

What we're are:

• A small team:

  • We don’t have an army of engineers. If you find something is broken, you are probably the best one to fix it

  • All the code we write has to punch above its weight in maintainability and toil reduction

  • If you have a good idea, you have much more ability to put it into action than at a large company

  • We need generalists: specialization is for big companies that already have everything figured out. If you’re smart, flexible and like getting into everything, we want you.

Our technology stack:

Core Technical Skills:

- Node.js & TypeScript

- NestJS Framework

- PostgreSQL & TypeORM

- GraphQL & Apollo (nice to have)

Cloud Experience:

- AWS Services - Like S3, Bedrock, Textract

- Webhooks - Handling asynchronous payment and document processing

Great if you have experience with Financial/Mortgage Industry
