For over 30 years, First Continental Mortgage (FCM) and affiliates, have shared a common purpose to help families realize the American dream of owning a home! FCM is a full-service, FNMA, HUD and VA approved national mortgage lending firm.

We specialize in partnering with Home Builders as well as retail production. FCM funded $2.6 Billion in 2024 through affiliated business arrangements with 10 different home builders, 5 of which rank in the Top 65 Home Builders in the country.

FCM is currently seeking an Application/AI Developer. This role will report to the CTO.

About the Role

We are looking for a talented and motivated Developer to join our team. In this role, you will be at the intersection of application integration, artificial intelligence, and data engineering - building the systems and pipelines that power our business. You will also play an important part in shaping security policies for AI-driven applications and integrations.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain application integrations across internal and third-party platforms using modern API patterns (REST, GraphQL, webhooks).
• Build, deploy, and manage AI agents and LLM-powered workflows to automate business processes and enhance decision-making.
• Develop and implement AI-driven business workflow automation solutions, identifying opportunities to streamline operations and reduce manual effort across the organization.
• Develop and maintain data integration pipelines, ensuring reliable data flow between systems, databases, and data warehouses.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to define and implement information security policies and procedures specific to AI agents and AI-powered integrations.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize existing integrations and AI solutions for performance and reliability.
• Document technical designs, integration patterns, and security standards for team and organizational use.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience developing AI agents, prompt engineering, and working with LLM frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar).
• Proficiency in API development - designing, building, and consuming RESTful or GraphQL APIs.
• Hands-on experience with data warehousing platforms (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, or similar) and data integration best practices.
• Experience developing software tools and integrations within the mortgage lending industry, with familiarity in lending workflows, loan origination systems (LOS), or related financial services platforms.
• Ability to create and enforce security policies for application and AI development, including access control, data handling, and compliance considerations.
• Solid understanding of software development best practices: version control (Git), testing, CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to document technical work clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice to Have

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and managed integration services.
• Familiarity with ETL/ELT tooling (dbt, Fivetran, Airbyte, or similar).
• Background in compliance frameworks relevant to AI systems (SOC 2, NIST AI RMF, or similar).
• Experience with workflow automation tools (n8n, Zapier, Make, or similar).

Work Arrangement

This is a primarily remote position. Candidates should expect occasional on-site visits for team collaboration, planning sessions, or project kick-offs. Travel frequency will be communicated during the interview process.
