What is Loancrate?

We started Loancrate to make home-buying simpler and less expensive for lenders and borrowers (us!). Today, mortgage lenders are stuck running their companies on software products built 20 years ago. These products are slow, unstable and don’t lead to material improvements in efficiency. When using these systems, the average human cost to originate a loan is still over $11,000.

Loancrate builds AI native tooling to automate mortgage workflows. Our ultimate goal is fully automated origination, which has the potential to save lenders over $16B in operating expense per year.

Since starting in 2020, our remote team has enabled our customers to power >$85 billion in new home loans. We are a group of people excited to tackle the complexity of the home-lending industry. We care about collaboration, very open communication covering the good & the bad so that we learn from our decisions quickly, and ultimately having fun while we're building. You'll fit in well if you like diving deep quickly!

The Opportunity

Our dreams are big and we have much to build! We're looking for senior software engineers to help lead our team in powering the future of home buying in the US (which could entail managing a majority of US home loans every year — financial assets worth trillions of dollars).

We are excited to offer competitive salary and equity for this role.

What To Expect

As an engineer at Loancrate, you'll continue our team tradition by shipping code to production on your first day! Following that, within your first month, you'll dive into your first mission-critical project, such as...

🙈 Architecting, building, and launching complex, multi-step AI agents that our customers use to digitize their ops workflows and save millions of dollars per year.

🤝 Integrating with 3rd-party providers of lending services APIs to generate documents/disclosures, produce automated underwriting results, or prevent fraud.

🏗 Architecting, building, and launching the next generation of our job processing infrastructure on AWS to make Loancrate's back end more observable and reliable.

Tech Stack

Nearly all of our code is written in TypeScript. We use React on the frontend, Node/Express on the backend (running inside Docker), GraphQL/Apollo on both sides, and Postgres as our database. We use AWS (ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, Kafka, ElasticSearch, and more) and manage all of our infrastructure with Terraform.

We believe that high engineering velocity drives high product velocity (and, in turn, our success as a company 😄). Keeping this in mind, we've invested heavily in creating a great developer experience that enables engineers to ship fast. Some highlights of our stack:

↔️ End-to-End Type Safety - We generate TypeScript types from our Postgres and GraphQL schemas so that when we change our database schema we see type errors in any incompatible frontend React components.

🌎 Full-Stack Code Sharing - Our build tooling supports seamless sharing of TypeScript files between the client, server, and other packages in our mono-repo so that we never have to define functions or configuration values twice.

🏠 Reproducible Infrastructure - We’ve used Terraform to manage 100% of our infrastructure since day 1 and have configured our CI pipeline to automatically deploy temporary staging environments for every pull request. We use these per-PR environments to get feedback from teammates and test any infrastructure changes using infrastructure that's identical to production.

🧪 First Class Testing Utilities - We have a comprehensive library of utilities that mock production-like data and feed automated end-to-end, integration, and performance tests. Our wide-ranging test suite allows us to move fast while maintaining nearly perfect uptime.

Preferred Skills and Background

(It's okay not to have all of these things - these are just some skills we are excited about!)

🤖 Familiarity with modern AI product development lifecycles (evals, experiment design, dataset curation, etc). We don’t just build AI chat bots. We wrangle non-deterministic LLMs into reliable mission-critical systems.

🔒 A constant and keen eye for security risks — we store and display some of people's most sensitive personal data and need to keep it safe!

🎨 A desire to be product-oriented, from thinking through the product implications of what you're building to contributing your unique ideas of how to improve the product.

🏙️ Ability to develop readable, maintainable, and effective software architecture patterns that support use of our product by various enterprise customers (each with thousands of employees and their own methods for running their companies).

👩‍🏫👨‍🏫 Excitement to mentor less senior engineers in both hard and soft skills.

🚈 SRE-oriented mindset for developing infrastructure that's reliable, observable, and requires minimal toil to maintain.

🌩️ Experience scaling high-throughput distributed systems in the cloud. Bonus points if you're experienced with infrastructure-as-code solutions like Terraform or CloudFormation!

🔧 Ability to develop full-stack web app features from design through deployment.

🛢️ Experience designing and scaling complex relational DB schemas, as well as figuring out performant ways to store, retrieve, and update such data. Home loans have thousands of data fields 🙃.

🎅 We hire old (and young)

At LaunchBrightly, we are on a mission to automate a process that continually captures and enhances screenshots of all your SaaS product features. The continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline and process that engineers adopted over the last decade, is what we ultimately want to build for customer support teams. TLDR; LaunchBrightly = CircleCI for customer support. And we are currently looking to bring onboard a strong Jr. Frontend Engineer / Customer Implementation Specialist. 

Everyone at LaunchBrightly is a creator, an owner, or perhaps better, a celebration of the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. Most big companies are afraid of entrusting the future of the company and their software to a few makers, and as they defend against that, they end up with three layers of managers and a product designed by a committee. We want the opposite. We need the opposite as we enter virgin territory trying to build that CI/CD pipeline and process for the support organization. As our customer pushes a new feature to production, we automatically update all product images within the help center. This is a thrilling adventure!

Our work is remote, not distant. We believe that being a remote-first organization allows us to build an exceptional team composed of makers and sellers with diverse backgrounds and skill sets from around the globe. Our default work culture is asynchronous and emphasizes written communication to prioritize maker time, focus and company productivity. Our goal is not to eliminate face-to-face interaction, but we should default to a setting where written documentation is so strong that a meeting on most project subject matters would seem odd.  

Founded in 2022, and backed by prominent venture firms including IA Ventures, Tuesday Capital, and B Capital Group, this is a unique opportunity to join this band of misfits on the ground floor. As an early teammate you will be working intimately with the founding team, who has done 0 to 1 five times over while seeing four of them come to an exit.

The Jr. Frontend Engineer / Implementation Specialist will become an integral member of an intimate 7-person team consisting of:

• Maker #5 (Jr. Frontend Engineer, You!)

• Maker #4 (Lucas, Frontend Engineer)

• Maker #3 (Jose, Fullstack Engineer)

• Maker #2 (Hyder, Backend Engineer)

• Maker #1 (Dennis, Founder)

• Seller #1 (Josh, Co-founder)

• Helper #1 (Vibeke)

However, we are looking not just for an Engineer but, rather, a teammate we see as integral to LaunchBrightly’s long-term journey and vital to our success. Someone who is comfortable in the dark and who sees a certain romance, like we do, in embracing the unknowns that come with being on the startup journey. We have a track record of seeing those colleagues who join us on the ground floor of our ventures ride the startup journey to completion (exit) with us, as we grow and become successful together. This is something we take seriously, and something we are extremely proud of! 

Job Description

This particular role is a bit unique as your work is initially fully concentrated on setting up Screenshot Automation Recipes for customer implementations, using the current V1.0 of our Screenshot Recipe Builder (our primary customer implementation tool). 

We are super eager to design an overall product experience that is tech forward, but non-technical knowledge managers and technical writers will love and easily be able to use. Your work will be crucial in helping us better the current implementation process, and propelling us to a place that allows non-technical users, on implementation specifically, to be able to self-serve. 

This initial phase, fully concentrated on customer implementations, will see you setting up many hundreds of Screenshot Automation Recipes over the next N months and will involve a combination of testing, analysis, and continuous improvement to enhance the implementation experience. You will help extend the current V1.0 of our Screenshot Recipe Builder, along the following tracks:

• Analyze feedback from users, evaluate comments from your fellow Engineering team members, and most of all spot inefficiencies as you set up recipes, to identify areas of improvement

• Product QA to identify bugs, inconsistencies and other issues with the implementation experience (you will be using the Browser Console, custom scripts to manipulate the DOM, and our Product Screenshots and Help Center Sync API as QA tools; Postman will be your best friend for a while)

• Translating your research and QA activities into detailed and well documented engineering tickets, allowing your fellow Engineering team member to easily pick up these tickets and have a head start on engineering solutions

• Providing input on product design, and mini-mocks, to enhance the implementation experience 

The success of your initial concentration on setting up Screenshot Automation Recipes will be measured on whether non-technical users become able to self-serve. We could imagine the current V1.0 of our Screenshot Recipe Builder experience being elevated to the next level, and providing a superior self-serve experience for our non-technical users within 6 months. 

On successfully helping us take the implementation experience to this next level, through our shared good work on setting up recipes, you will move to become a full-time Jr. Frontend Engineer as a Maker alongside Jose, Lucas and Hyder. With a unique and intimate experience of the user experience having walked in their shoes setting up many hundreds of automation recipes. 

Salary and job type

• Flexible working hours and locations. Your success is measured on outcomes

• A culture of NO meetings where maker time and productivity is prioritized

• Excellent start-up culture with openness and inclusiveness

• True ownership and autonomy over your role and the impact on the company
