Software Engineer - Fullstack

We're here to change it.

Who we are

Our founding team is no stranger to the complexities of the financial industry. As early employees at Blend, they spent years together focused on creating modern cloud infrastructure for banks. Now, with Vesta, they are transforming the mortgage industry by creating the most flexible, open, and automated origination experience, benefiting financial institutions and their customers.

And, we're not alone.

Who you are

You’re an engineer who loves to ship and get valuable features in front of customers as efficiently as possible. AI tools have made you multiples more effective at getting stuff done and you want an environment that embraces using the latest technology for increasing product velocity. That said, you also understand the balance of when to slow down and build meticulously for mission-critical projects. You are someone who your teammates can depend on to get things done, take high ownership of your work product, and value the same in your colleagues. You greatly value working alongside smart and talented people who are execution oriented.

About your role

You will work on a product-oriented team with a focus on building, delivering, and maintaining functionality in areas where the business needs are strongest. You will be expected to be an owner of these product areas and use your experience to help Vesta create as much value as possible for our customers.

Working at an early-stage startup means there is a strong sense of ownership across the team. While we support flexible schedules and trust people to manage their time, there will be moments when mission-critical work requires extra effort outside of typical working hours. We’re looking for teammates who are comfortable with that reality and who care deeply about the success of the product and the team.

Because we try to tailor the role to the strengths of every team member, most items listed are not hard requirements, but some areas of experience that may be relevant are:

• Comfortable working in an early-stage startup environment where mission-critical work may occasionally require effort outside typical working hours.

• Strong full-stack web development skills – experience working on products used by at least thousands of users.

• Current expertise in C# .Net or other statically typed languages (e.g. Java, Scala, Kotlin)

• Current proficiency in React state management is required

• Hands-on experience with relational databases, preferably PostgreSQL, including schema design and query optimization.

• Proficiency with modern AI development tools in a professional environment

• Familiarity with cloud environments and services (AWS preferred), as well as real-time event streaming (Kafka) and caching solutions (Redis).

• Comfortable navigating and contributing to complex data models, including defining and optimizing them in collaboration with team members.

• Driven to tackle genuine business problems, translating high-level goals into practical engineering solutions.

• Highly autonomous, proactively owning tasks and deliverables, with a willingness to occasionally extend beyond standard working hours to meet business goals.

• Willingness to travel at least twice a year to offsites in the United States.

• Remote-first culture with a physical hub in the Bay area & New York!

Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $160,000 - $225,000. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above.
