Hypofriend has helped thousands of customers navigate the difficult journey of buying a home. Our online platform helps customers from calculating their affordability to getting matched to relevant properties to calculating and processing the optimal mortgage.
As a Senior Backend Engineer with an affinity for observability, you would be supporting both a customer-facing and an advisor-facing product that run on Vue.js, GraphQL, and Ruby on Rails, powered by AWS. Our customer-facing products include complex calculators wrapped in a simple UI, with a powerful calculation engine that takes thousands of mortgage products and optimizes them for our customers.
Our advisor-facing products include a fully-fledged back-office that ensures customer interactions over email, chat, and telephone — as well as the processing and handling of mortgage applications and financial documents — are reliable, efficient, and secure.
You'll help ensure our calculation engines, back-office tools, and customer-facing platform become more resilient and secure as we grow.
