Senior Software Engineer

Description

CAKE Mortgage is a cutting-edge wholesale mortgage lender specializing in Non-QM products. We're redefining the lending experience with innovative programs, streamlined processes, and a commitment to speed and precision. As we grow, we're looking for forward-thinking professionals who thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments.

The Senior Software Engineer will help design and build CAKE's custom TPO platform — the web application our broker partners use to originate loans with us — along with other products across our lending stack. This is a senior individual contributor role with real ownership from design through production support, working as part of a small, high-leverage engineering team.

We're looking for an AI-native developer: a strong engineer who uses AI tools to multiply their output. Our stack is Type Script, React, NestJS, and Postgres, running in containers on Azure. Mortgage industry experience is required.

• Design and build the custom TPO platform, including the broker-facing web application, its backend services, and its integrations.
• Integrate with the systems that run the business, including Encompass (our LOS), pricing engines, and document and vendor services.
• Own your work through production — containers, CI/CD, deployment, monitoring, and incident response.
• Write clean, tested Type Script in React and NestJS. Review code, set standards, and keep quality high as the team grows.
