Senior Design Engineer

Required

• You’re ruthless about priorities. Every screen could be better. You focus on the details that matter most to users, and you’re comfortable saying no to good ideas that come at the wrong time.
• You’re comfortable in a heavily regulated market. Disclosures, consent, and accessibility are part of the experience, and you design them to be clear instead of hiding them. We play by the rules, and we play to win.
• You care a lot about borrowers, loan officers, and the lenders who serve them, and you hold a high bar for them. You notice the small things other people miss.
• You default to software over manual work. One of our guiding principles is that anything in the backend mortgage process done by a human is a bug. Good design should take work off people’s plates whenever it can, and when an experience depends on a manual workaround, you call it out and push for the real fix.
• You’re good with people. You’ll work with product, engineering, customers, and leadership, and you know how to build real relationships and get results through them.
• You’re willing to get into the weeds. You can learn mortgage quickly, to the point where you sound like you’ve been in the industry for 20 years.
• This role isn’t for you if
• You’d rather build other people’s designs than make design decisions yourself
• You design in Figma and hand it off for someone else to build
• You’re mostly interested in backend or infrastructure work
• 3+ years as a product designer who codes, a design engineer, or a frontend engineer who makes the design calls
• A portfolio of live products or working prototypes with excellent visual and interaction work. This matters more to us than your title or years of experience
