About The Position

Better is rebuilding home finance as an AI-native platform—turning a process that once took weeks into something that can happen in seconds. With over $110B in loans funded and $1.2B+ raised, we operate at real scale while rethinking how homeownership works from the ground up. The category hasn’t caught up yet. That’s the opportunity. Role Summary We are looking for a Senior IT Business Systems Engineer to own and advance our Atlassian and Intercom platforms. You will be the go-to expert for configuring, supporting, and continuously improving the tools our teams rely on every day — from Jira and Confluence to Intercom messaging and AI-driven workflows. You will partner with business leaders to translate their goals into scalable solutions, drive automation and integrations, and ensure our knowledge base and service workflows stay reliable, secure, and easy to use. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who enjoys solving complex problems and continuously learning new technologies.
