Backend Engineer, Integrations

About the role

We're looking for Back End Engineers to join our Integrations team. This team connects Pylon to the outside world — the partners, services, and data sources that make a seamless mortgage experience possible. We have a critical, multi-month project ahead: building out a ton of integrations. Credit bureaus, title companies, insurance providers, document services — mortgage touches everything, and we need to plug into all of it. This is a rare opportunity to work across the entire mortgage domain and understand how all the pieces fit together, fast.

Here Is What You'll Do

• Build integrations across the mortgage ecosystem. You'll connect Pylon to external partners — each with their own APIs, data formats, quirks, and reliability characteristics. No two are the same.
• Work on everything. This role touches every part of the mortgage process. You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of how mortgage works — not in theory, but by building the connective tissue that makes it function.
• Own solutions from development to deploy to maintenance. You build it, you ship it, you keep it running.
• Integrations are only as good as their uptime, and that's your responsibility.
• Be self-directed and versatile. The integrations surface is wide. You'll need to context-switch between partners, prioritize what matters, and drive projects forward without waiting for someone to hand you the next task.
• Move fast on a high-impact project. This isn't a "someday" initiative. We're building these integrations now, and each one we ship unlocks new capabilities for our customers.

Who Will Succeed Here
