Senior UX/UI Designer
WHO ARE WE?
Maxwell is on a mission to make mortgages human. We are revolutionizing the $8.5T residential mortgage market by reimagining how lending teams work together with borrowers to buy a home. Based in beautiful Denver, Colorado, Maxwell is a VC-funded, Techstars-backed company that empowers loan officers by intelligently automating their workflow so the focus isn’t the paperwork, it’s the people. Today, Maxwell serves hundreds of mortgage lending institutions across the U.S. making billions of dollars of mortgages easier and more delightful every month.
And we believe that doing well also means doing good: a portion of all of Maxwell’s revenues is dedicated to building homes for those who need them most in Haiti and El Salvador. We’ll do whatever it takes, wearing multiple hats every day, to make each other and our customers a success, and to make the world a better place. Come join us as we build a new way to finance a home!
