About the position
At Pylon, we’re a small team building a very ambitious product in the mortgage space. At this early stage, we’re looking for engineers who can see the opportunity of what we’re building towards and want to have a hand in shaping both the product and the technical foundation beneath it. We're in search of people who thrive on hard, open-ended problems and who can operate with both autonomy and influence. If you’re someone who enjoys diving deep, thinking rigorously, and helping others do the same, Pylon Engineering could be a great fit.
