The Senior Staff Engineer, Frontend will architect and lead the user interfaces that borrowers, loan officers, underwriters, and servicing teams rely on every day.

You will partner closely with backend engineers, designers, product managers, and the AI team to ship integrated, polished, accessible experiences that make lending feel simple, even when the systems behind them are not.
