Brace | New York, NY | Onsite | Backend Engineer, Frontend Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Fullstack Engineer, Security Engineer
Think Turbo Tax, but for distressed mortgages. It may sound boring, but it turns out that when people can't afford to pay for their houses there is quite a bit you can do to avoid foreclosure. At Brace (<a href=") we're automating advice and document collection to help people stay in their homes. We're a team of six engineers in midtown Manhattan, one of whom was hired from a previous "Who is hiring?" post!
Really positive feedback from initial customers means we have a lot of room to hire for:
- Frontend engineering: Two discrete frontends in React (using CRA), some Typescript, and CSS-in-JS.
- Backend engineering: Vert.x on Java12/13 and Elixir, running on AWS' version of managed Kubernetes called EKS. There's even a little Rust! We're serious about using the correct tools for the problem at hand.
- DevOps: The entire architecture, which must be installed per-client, is described using Terraform. This deploys helm charts, configures AWS, and manages keystores, among many other things. We have considerable monitoring and alerting requirements and all of the early application features we're developing touch multiple parts of the stack.
- Fullstack: An ideal candidate would have interest and experience doing what's listed for backend and devops engineering because, as a small company, we all wear many hats.
- Security Engineer: Being in the finance industry we have many compliance requirements so we're looking for someone with experience in securing large, AWS-deployed applications that are both public-facing and store PII.
The company strives for the most inclusive and healthy work-life balance you'll find in a startup that's young enough that you can really take ownership of important application features.
