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 full stack product engineers who can see the opportunity of what we're building towards and want to have a hand in building it. We're in search of people who find difficult problems invigorating and who fit well into a high-performing team built on mutual respect and reliance. If you like pushing yourself to learn a massive amount while shipping code that has a huge impact on the end product, Pylon Engineering could be a great place for you.
