Founding Security Infrastructure Engineer

Rockstar • San Francisco, CA

5d • Hybrid

About The Position

Rockstar is recruiting for a market-leading AI voice agent company for mortgage lenders. Founded in 2024, the company has grown rapidly, reaching $13M in revenue within 20 months and counting 5 of the 10 largest independent mortgage banks in the U.S. as enterprise customers. If successful, the cost of homeownership could decrease by about 1%. The company is well-funded with $21M raised from top investors.

Around 1% of the U.S. labor force works in phone sales, representing roughly $100B of annual salary, and the industry is poised at the brink of complete disruption. The company is at the cutting edge of this economic transformation, one of the first companies creating real, durable economic value through applied AI.

Buying a house is the largest financial decision most people make in their lives, and homeownership is tied to many other purchases, including life insurance, homeowners insurance, alarm systems, home renovations, solar panels, and more. By owning the mortgage vertical, the company will own the relationship with the consumer, allowing it to serve as the essential AI infrastructure for high consideration consumer sales.
