Full-Stack Engineer
About the Role
A seed-stage construction lending fintech is looking for a Full-Stack Engineer with 6+ years of experience to join a small, high-velocity remote team. You'll work across the entire stack — from database schema design and API development to React front-end UI — extending and improving a mature, mission-critical Rails monolith that powers construction lending workflows. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for a pragmatic engineer who thrives in ambiguity and is genuinely curious about domains outside their own expertise.
