About the Project We are building 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risk, compliance, and vendor management in the U.S. mortgage industry is a $12T+ market still relying on fragmented, outdated tools.

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

Must-Have Experience * Strong experience with React and modern frontend development * Proven ability to build polished, user-facing interfaces with high attention to detail * Experience owning frontend features end-to-end, from idea to production * Solid understanding of modern JavaScript (TypeScript experience preferred) * Strong grasp of UI/UX principles, component design, and consistency * Experience collaborating closely with product and backend teams * Comfortable working with evolving requirements and limited specifications
Nice to have: * 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.)
Responsibilities * Build polished, intuitive user interfaces using React and Next.js * Own frontend features end-to-end, from concept to release and iteration * Translate ambiguous requirements into clear, user-friendly UI solutions * Obsess over UI/UX details: spacing, hierarchy, states, edge cases, and consistency * Improve and maintain a high-quality component system and frontend architecture * Ensure frontend performance, reliability, and graceful error handling * Continuously raise the quality bar by refining existing UI and eliminating UX friction * Collaborate closely with product and backend to deliver thoughtful, cohesive experiences
How We Work 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.
