Full-Stack Engineer (US, Remote)
About the position We’re hiring a pragmatic, T-shaped Full-Stack Engineer to help extend and improve a mature production platform used daily by real customers. This is not a greenfield-only role. You’ll be working on top of a real, six-year-old codebase that supports mission-critical construction lending workflows. The right person has strong backend instincts, can work across the stack, and is comfortable navigating ambiguity. You should be able to reason through database design, API behavior, background jobs, migrations, performance tradeoffs, and user-facing product decisions without needing every detail handed to you in a ticket. This is a fully remote team that relies heavily on fast, clear verbal communication, so the ability to think out loud, ask good questions, and explain tradeoffs is critical.
