Full Job Description
Who you are

Vesta is building out its early engineering team with well-rounded, resourceful engineers who want to create a product literally from the ground up. An ideal candidate for this role is a senior+ engineer that has deep experience scaling distributed systems, is not afraid to work on any part of the stack, and is excited about the breadth of responsibility and autonomy. You are someone who people can depend on to get things done and take responsibility for your commitments. You love working alongside smart and talented people who are execution oriented.

About your role

Your work will likely span our entire codebase, but your primary focus will be on scaling and maturing our platform to handle the entire mortgage market. In addition to development, you9ll be responsible for helping set the guidelines and frameworks for our engineering organization in the years ahead, including both technical tooling and organizational growth.

Working at an early-stage startup means there is a strong sense of ownership across the team. While we support flexible schedules and trust people to manage their time, there will be moments when mission-critical work requires extra effort outside of typical working hours. We9re looking for teammates who are comfortable with that reality and who care deeply about the success of the product and the team.

The responsibilities of this role are open-ended, but we9re looking for someone with deep experience in at least one, but ideally all of the following:
  • Comfortable working in an early-stage startup environment where mission-critical work may occasionally require effort outside typical working hours.
  • Deep experience scaling distributed systems with complex data dependencies
  • Performance engineering in any of the following domains: AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka, PostgreSQL or similar relational database, Redis, Elasticsearch
  • Strong proficiency with C# or other statically typed languages such as Kotlin, Go, or Java.
  • Familiarity with observability tools (Datadog) and infrastructure as code (Terraform)


Perks & Benefits
  • Robust medical, vision, & dental coverage (~100% of employee premiums are covered)
  • FSA plan offering
  • 401(K) plan offering
  • Meaningful parental leave - 16 weeks fully paid for all new parents, birthing & non-birthing parents (applies to adoptions as well!)
  • Remote-first culture with a physical hub in the bay area!
  • Generous Work From Home & Wellness Benefits
  • Monthly cell & wifi stipend
  • Monthly Doordash benefits
  • Open & encouraged flexible time off
  • Company offsites to get to know the team!

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above.
