Senior Full-Stack Engineer (Node.js, React)

A modern operating system for risk, compliance, and vendor management in the U.S. mortgage industry is a $12T+ market still relying on fragmented, outdated tools.

This is not an idea-stage startup:

• Paying customers
• 3,000+ active users
• Proven product-market fit

Our goal is to become the default compliance platform for mortgage companies nationwide, with 10,000+ companies using the product daily by the end of 2026.

You will join a small, senior, high-ownership team:

• 2 Founders (product, strategy, customer-facing)
• 1 Founding Engineer (full-stack, infrastructure)

We operate with high trust, clear communication, and full ownership. Everyone on the team directly shapes the product.

• Frontend: Next.js, React (custom hooks, components), Redux
• Backend: Express, MongoDB + Mongoose, CRON jobs
• Infrastructure: Railway, MongoDB Atlas, AWS S3, Sentry
• Language: JavaScript (migrating to TypeScript in 2026—this is a major priority)
• Tooling: Slack, Linear, Loom, AI dev tools (Cursor, Roo Code)

If you're thinking "I'd change half of this," good. Tell us why.

• Experience with TypeScript (or strong interest in migrating a codebase)
• Familiarity with AI APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and integration patterns
• Background in fintech, compliance, or regulated industries
• Experience with automated testing, QA processes, and error monitoring tools (Sentry, etc.)
• Exposure to document processing, OCR, or data automation workflows

You'll own features end-to-end from database schema to polished UI. This isn't a role where you throw code over the wall. You design, build, ship, and maintain.

Immediate priorities (3 - 6 months):

• Build features to reach parity with legacy competitors
• Improve UI/UX across the platform (we're good, want to be great)
• Develop AI-powered document review/OCR solution to automate compliance tasks
• Build AI agents that pull data from the web to autocomplete onboarding workflows
• Identify and implement practical AI use cases that solve real customer problems

Medium-term (12 months):

• Launch our Vendor Management Platform
• Drive the TypeScript migration across the codebase
• Implement QA processes and automated testing (with AI assistance)
• Triage and resolve production issues surfaced in Sentry

Long-term (2+ years):

• Launch Products #3 & #4 to complete the risk and compliance ecosystem
• Help us build the single platform every mortgage bank will rely on—nothing like this exists today

Async-first. High-trust. High-agency.

• No daily standups. No micromanagement.
• We review priorities weekly and make sure everyone's working on the highest-impact task.
• Deadlines and blockers are communicated in Slack. Updates via Loom.
• We value written communication, it forces clarity and works across timezones.
• We're a curious, opinionated group who debate ideas and seek the best solution, not the loudest voice.

We care deeply about product design and thoughtfulness. The feedback we hear most on demos is: "Wow, it looks so great and feels so intuitive." We're proud of that but we know we can do even better.
