New York, NY

Job Description

Your Focus

* Build and shape our frontend and web application architecture
* Work with world-class engineers to build a massively impactful product
* Build or choose the tools that will help us iterate very quickly on product
* Understand customers to figure out what we should be building and how we should build it

Your Skills

* Product thinking - The ability to think about what we're building from the customer point of view. To build the best products, the engineering team must empathize and build products with the customer in mind.
* Full stack - Comfortable moving up and down the stack. It matters less that you know the exact frameworks and tools that we use, but you must be willing and able to learn very quickly. We also mean full stack across other functions outside engineering - you should be excited to understand the entire business and learn from customers.
* Frontend expert - We're looking for the engineer who's better at frontend engineering than everyone else on the team, to lead the technological decisions and frontend architecture. We expect you to lay the groundwork for future frontend development by other engineers.
* Excellent judgment - We're an early stage start up and need to move fast, but home transactions are high stakes and we need to be compliant. We need you to understand when to move faster and when to take the time to get it right.
* Craftsmanship - You care about writing good code and building great software. You understand the trade-offs when we have to move faster, but you know what perfect means and how to get there when we need to.
