About Our Client

Over the past decade, millions of Americans have been forced to put their dreams of homeownership on hold. Home prices have outpaced wage growth while mortgage requirements continue to tighten. As a result, renters are missing out on a critical wealth-building opportunity: owning a home.

Our client building an on-ramp to homeownership – one that's more affordable, more flexible, and an overall better fit for the modern American family – and it’s working.

About the role


You will be able to leverage your adaptability, creativity, and skill set to make homeownership more accessible and equitable. You’ll be expected to take ownership of your projects, to support your teammates on other projects, and work collectively to scale our platform to thousands of new applicants and multiple new markets. Almost every project will require cross functional collaboration across the entire home buying process. And you will have the opportunity to work alongside a fantastic team of engineers, product managers, data scientists, and field experts—all of whom are committed to the mission, and thirsty for your help in providing that data and tooling to support their passion.

   - Work on an agile engineering team writing maintainable and scalable code and influencing team decisions

   - Drive continuous improvements of software quality, customer experience, and maintainability of products and features

   - Independently clarify technical requirements, assess development estimates and apply a broad range of design approaches and deliver on schedule

   - Review code of other team members and provide constructive direction

   - Be opinionated, open-minded, respectful and a great teammate

   - Use technology to solve difficult problems

   - Mentor and lead developers by cultivating curiosity and deep technical understanding


We’d like to talk to you if . . .


   - You have experience developing and supporting products that leverage the latest innovations in mobile technology to enhance product usability for customers

   - You have hands on experience integrating iOS and Android applications to backend services

   - You have experience in hybrid mobile programming languages, e.g. React Native

   - You have a solid understanding of software development methodology and know how to use the right tool for the right job

   - You have experience building complex software systems that have been successfully delivered to customers

   - You have experience working in start-up mode building new products and services

   - You have experience with distributed (multi-tiered) systems, algorithms, and relational/non-relational databases

   - Proficient in a broad range of data structures and algorithms, knowing when it is (and isn’t) appropriate to use them

   - You are able to accurately prioritize projects, make sound judgments, work to improve the customer experience, and get the right things done.

   - You demonstrate a desire for readable, testable, and performant code

   - You have empathy for your peers and our customers
