Job description

Tomo is a digital mortgage company on a mission to eliminate the greed and complexity in lending, helping homebuyers save thousands of dollars. Our AI-driven customer experience makes the lending process faster, less frustrating, and more affordable. By passing these savings directly to homebuyers, we eliminate excessive fees and inflated rates that cost Americans billions each year. Backed by top-tier venture investors, including Ribbit, DST, and NFX, Tomo is poised to become one of the most valuable fintech startups of our generation.

The joy of owning a home should never be overshadowed by the hassle of buying one.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has empathy for users and enjoys building customer-facing products that improve the home buying journey— discovering, touring, buying and owning!
• Brings their own unique background and experiences to the team, adding fresh ideas and perspectives.
• Accepts the ambiguity of startups and is eager to collaborate with others to determine what needs to be done to drive a project forward.
• Contributes wherever they can provide the most value, even if it’s not their area of expertise.
• Wants to hone their craft as a software engineer and is excited to learn new technologies.
• Eagerly mentors and collaborates with other members of the team.
• Enjoys working with a geographically distributed team (US).

You'll be:

• Building high performance customer experiences using a combination of React, Next.js, Tailwind, Typescript, Storybook and a mix of client- and server-side rendered pages.
• Leading scoping and definition for team project work.
• Supporting deployed systems in production as part of an on-call rotation.
• Driving healthy software engineering practices – including code review, automated testing (95% code coverage), and continuous delivery.
• Working closely with user experience designers in promoting accessibility best practices, design languages and brand recognition efforts.
• Partnering with other engineers to define API contracts and the structure of the backend, server, and client components.

You'll need:

• A history (5+ years) of delivering meaningful software projects to production – from conception through design, delivery, and iteration.
• Experience with delivering high-quality customer experiences on large consumer-facing websites, including a deep understanding of front-end technology stacks and how to use them to produce performant, satisfying, well-crafted user experiences.
• Understanding of modern software engineering practices, including logging, monitoring, continuous deployment, and automated testing.
• Expertise with React and/or Next.js.
• To be inquisitive, ready to engage in vibrant debate, make difficult decisions quickly, learn continuously and mentor your teammates to do the same.

You might also have:

• Expertise with SEO, site performance, and tools like PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse.
• Experience with AWS and cloud-based deployment and operational contexts.
• Experience in working on fintech or home lending technology systems.
