Who you’ll be working with:
Better’s Engineering team is focused on re-imagining and rebuilding one of the most stressful, broken processes out there: buying a home. From our home shopping experience to our loan platform, our engineers solve complex technical problems at scale. Our customers are at the center of all we do, and our teams are dedicated to delivering the best experience for a life-changing process. We believe iteration speed is a competitive advantage in a legacy industry, so we move fast and deploy often. Despite our tremendous growth in 2021, every new engineer has a significant opportunity to help us shape the technical direction and culture of the team.
What you’ll be doing:
● Building software that streamlines and demystifies the single most important purchase of our user's life
● Automating manual or paper processes that historically take days or weeks
● Working with business stakeholders to understand requirements and make technical decisions that have a long-lasting impact
● Laying the groundwork for new platforms or new products we're building as we become the de-facto homeownership destination
● Collaborate closely with teammates across Product, Design, and other Engineering to build better products for our customers. You’ll be assigned to a pod where we bring specialists with unique sets of skills and diverse competencies together to build the best, scalable solutions
● Opportunities to work as full stack, backend, or frontend engineer, depending on candidate interest and business need

● 6+ years of experience in coding in at least one modern language such as Javascript, Typescript, Python, Java, Scala, Go
● 2+ years of experience contributing to the architecture and design of new and existing systems (architecture, design patterns, reliability, and scaling)
● You’ve built sophisticated production software systems
● Understanding of microservices architecture and event-driven distributed systems
● Strong grasp of relational database concepts
● Startup mindset, ownership, and a proper balance of quality and sense of urgency
Better technology:
● We continuously ship code to production 50-100 times every day
● Services written in Node.js, Python and Go that expose APIs using GraphQL or OpenAPI
● React, CSS in JS, Apollo/GraphQL, webpack, SCSS, Ember.js on the frontend
● TypeScript / ES7 across the stack
● Postgres for our relational databases, ActiveMQ for our message broker, Redis for caching, Snowflake for analytics
