About the role
Pricing is where mortgage deals are won or lost. A few basis points can decide whether a borrower gets the loan and whether our customers win the business. Our goal is the best pricing in the market, and we want to approach it with the rigor of a top hedge fund, using data, models, and a constant read on what the market is doing.

What they're looking for
- 4+ years in product management, or in a quantitative role like quant research, trading, or pricing at a hedge fund, bank, or trading firm
- Very strong quantitative skills. You’ve built pricing or risk models, worked with real market data, and you’re fluent in SQL and Python
- You’ve owned and scaled pricing, marketplace, payments, or other products where small changes in economics have a big impact
- You write code and are comfortable committing to a production codebase, working alongside engineers on real-time pricing systems and integrations
- You’ve built 0-1 products in a regulated industry
- You’re hungry to learn mortgage capital markets from first principles until you’re fluent in pricing, secondary execution, and hedging
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.
