About the role
Encode natural language rules into code. You'll work with DSLs and novel techniques — including AI — to translate dense regulatory guidelines into executable logic. Think of it as compiling English into a system that makes six-figure decisions. Work side-by-side with mortgage experts. You won't be guessing what the rules mean. You'll pair with people who've spent their careers in mortgage to understand nuance, exceptions, and the "it depends" that makes this domain so hard.

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.

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.
