However, the tools and technology that support homeownership are antiquated, dependent on things like fax machines, handwritten documentation, and hours of manual review. We're here to change it. Vesta is the next-generation system of record to power the multi-trillion mortgage market. We believe that we are overdue for a core transformation – that in order to build a fully automated process and fully digital customer journeys, lenders will have to adopt a system of record platform that is modern, open, and orchestrated by best-in-class software workflows. ## Who we are Our founding team is no stranger to the complexities of the financial industry. As early employees at Blend, they spent years together focused on creating modern cloud infrastructure for banks. Now, with Vesta, they are transforming the mortgage industry by creating the most flexible, open, and automated origination experience, benefitting financial institutions and their customers. And, we're not alone. We've raised $55M from top tier investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital Ventures, Conversion Capital, Zigg Capital, and Index Ventures. We believe that our team is our greatest competitive advantage and take pride in having a team of exceptional humans. As a team, we value humility, empathy, self-awareness, and an orientation towards action.

You love working alongside smart and talented people who are execution oriented. ## About your role Your primary focus will be scaling and maturing Vesta’s infrastructure to support the entire mortgage market reliably, securely, and efficiently. You’ll be responsible for building the foundational systems that power engineering velocity and platform reliability, including cloud architecture, deployment systems, observability, incident response, and internal developer tooling. Because the responsibilities of this role are broad and evolving, we’re looking for engineers with strong experience building and operating infrastructure at scale.

Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $200,000 - $240,000. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above. At Vesta, we believe that the only way we can tackle the challenging problems in front of us is by having diverse perspectives and an environment that promotes inclusivity.
