Maxwell | Sr Fullstack Engineer | Denver, CO | ONSITE & REMOTE

Mortgages are a cornerstone of our economy, and home ownership is a critical component of the ‘American Dream’. After going through the mortgage process themselves, our co-founders were shocked at how laborious and complex the mortgage process still is, for both borrowers and lenders. They saw an opportunity to improve this essential — albeit unglamorous — process, and thus,  Maxwell was born.

We’re committed to turning the tide of homeownership to be more accessible for all. Property ownership is a key facet of financial stability and wealth-building. Some would say it’s a requirement for a flourishing middle class. We believe it is, and we’re disrupting the mortgage status quo to make mortgages more simple and accessible for homeowners and more efficient and convenient for lenders.

Maxwell is an outstanding place to work for many reasons. Many of those reasons sound similar to what other tech companies will tell you — we’ve got solid (but not unbelievable) benefits, a great (and constantly improving) company culture, generous PTO, and so on. Like many software companies, we do work on a fairly boring tech stack, with some interesting pieces. And, as previously mentioned, we’ve got a compelling vision at the heart of our company — to turn the tide on homeownership and spread financial empowerment. But many other tech startups could probably tell you something similar.

So what can we offer that most others can not?

Above all, we are a no BS company doing honest work that really matters in the real world. Boring or not, we solve important problems that real people face, and we have the opportunity to affect real, significant change. This is not a whiz, bang, Instagram-meets-Uber-meets-Bitcoin, buzzword-bingo business venture. Nor is it a never-going-to-leave-the-lab, “machine learning” science project. We are a dedicated team on an honest-to-goodness startup grind where all of us can truly make a difference in the world — one lender, one borrower, one new homeowner at a time. And it’s working.

Who are you?

You are a very experienced full stack developer looking for a position where you’ll get to touch all levels of the stack. As a full-time member of the engineering team, you’ll help build software and contribute to decisions that will steer the product’s future.

You need to be comfortable with deployment environments, writing database queries, building out backend services, and implementing UI that enhances the user experience.

You’ll be part of our product team which is design, frontend and backend engineering combined. We believe that everyone who works on a product is both a product and a technical contributor. You’ll use your experience to inform our engineering process and decisions when building new features, enhancing existing functionality, and ensuring scalability and availability of the entire platform.

Our stack: RoR w/React/Redux running in Heroku and AWS. We are a Lean & Agile team working to move solidly to DevOps in 2019.

Our future: We are rapidly heading to our series A working within a $2.5 trillion market for making loans; in 2018 our platform helped closed $11 billion dollars in mortgages. We expect to double our team in 2019.

We want people who are: kind, rigorous, curious, and mission-driven, and thrive with a mission that matters. We focus on building leaders, developer happiness, professional growth, and continuous learning.

We are building the kind of company we all want to work for, and we are looking for experienced, highly capable engineers who want to fix this problem with us. Mavericks and change agents. People crazy enough to think they can change the world by starting with the humble mortgage.
