About the role
Pylon has more demand than we can support. Our target customer is already watching. Thousands of originators in Facebook groups and online forums are talking about Pylon, curious about what we're building. We need someone who can build a movement and turn that curiosity into conviction. Not through press releases or 12-week content calendars but through having a genuine point of view, knowing how platforms work at a mechanical level, and being willing to do things that feel a little insane.
What they're looking for
- You have taste. You know what great content looks like and why most of it misses
- You've grown something from zero (an account, a community, a product) and you know what actually made it work
- You're fluent on social as a practitioner (not just a user). You understand how platforms distribute content and you engineer for it
- You've grown a following from zero and can point to the specific moves that made it happen
- You've actually built content systems using AI (vs used ChatGPT to write captions)
- You can write arguments, narratives, and ideas that make people want to share them
More about this role
America’s $13T mortgage market is one of the most important financial systems in the world. It underwrites the middle class and is the mechanism through which millions of families build wealth. But while every other financial instrument has been simplified to an API call, mortgages are still assembled by hand.
We started from zero and created the first vertically integrated mortgage platform that turns origination into a single API.
Publicly traded companies and the country’s largest originators are already building on Pylon. Revenue is compounding monthly. We’re backed by Peter Thiel, Conversion Capital, QED, Citi, Fifth Wall, and the founders of Ramp, Blend, and Mercury.
Working at Pylon isn’t for those seeking comfort. The people who thrive here have high agency, strong opinions, and a track record of delivering outcomes without direction. Many of us are former founders. We move quickly, challenge each other directly, and take full ownership of results. It’s hard work, but it will be worth it.
Join us in building America’s mortgage rails .
