About the role
Pylon turns mortgage origination into a single API, so the API is the product. Every loan our customers originate, every integration they build, and every agent that talks to Pylon goes through it. We’re hiring a Lead PM to own the Pylon API. That includes the domain model, the API design, and the experience of every developer who builds on it. Our API is built on GraphQL, and the schema is where all of mortgage’s complexity has to turn into something a developer can understand in an afternoon. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years in software, including at least 4 as a PM on API or developer platform products. An engineering background is a plus
- You’ve owned and scaled public APIs that developers actually like using, at real scale
- You’re excellent at domain modeling and have taken messy, complicated real-world domains and turned them into clean entities, relationships, and state machines
- You know GraphQL deeply, including schema design, nullability, connection-based pagination, error modeling, federation, and how to evolve and deprecate a schema
- You know API design beyond GraphQL too, like REST, webhooks and events, idempotency, OAuth and scoped API keys, and rate limiting
- You write code and are comfortable committing to a production codebase, prototyping against the API, and going deep on architecture with engineers
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.
