Founding Engineer

This is a full-time, on-site role in **New York City** for someone who can build product _and_ drive outcomes with customers. This is not a role for someone who wants clean abstractions, perfect APIs, or slow roadmaps. You will ship production fixes, deploy automations, talk to operators, and help close deals — often in the same week. **What you’ll do:** * Own integrations with lenders, vendors, and state-specific processes (often inconsistent and hostile to automation) * Debug and harden systems that deal with messy inputs: OCR outputs, missing data, DMV rejection loops, inconsistent county requirements * Work directly with customers: gather requirements, explain workflows, manage pilots, and turn adoption into expansion * Support live operations when needed * Help design the product by being close to the pain: rejections, backlog, chase cycles, etc. **You will be expected to:** * Write code that directly impacts revenue and customer retention * Communicate confidently with collateral teams, ops teams, and decision-makers * Be a “founder energy” operator: see problems, fix problems, close problems **You are a strong fit if

you have:

** * Strong computer science fundamentals and engineering judgment * Real backend experience (TypeScript / Node preferred; AWS + cloud workflows a plus) * High ownership * Ability to communicate clearly with customers and translate pain into product * Entrepreneurial temperament: you like chaotic problems and moving fast **Bonus (but not required):** * Experience in fintech, lending, B2B SaaS, or compliance-heavy workflows * Sales instinct: you can tell what a customer actually needs vs. what they’re asking for * Experience working with large enterprise clients (pilots, rollouts, expansions)
