Lead Software Engineer

Silverwork is the future of mortgage automation, and we are looking for a Lead Software Engineer to lead a team of software engineers supporting the customization and implementation of Silverwork’s industry-leading robotic software product set.

As a Lead Software Engineer, you will use your experience with mortgage technology to lead development on our bots, consult on department level systems and processes, and act as a mentor for engineers with less experience.

You will develop and execute strategies to empower them to achieve a high level of technical productivity, reliability, and simplicity as they meet and exceed the expectations of our clients. Working closely with our Director of Technology, you will help employ agile-based development methodologies and introduce new development practices such as implementing SaaS methodologies. You will also collaborate with the Product team to influence product decisions, roadmaps, prioritization, and feature schedules.

This is the ideal opportunity for experienced engineers ready to continue their people management journey by polishing their leadership skills and mentoring enthusiastic and hungry devs, standardizing development processes and tools, and solving problems.

Who we are:

We have six Core Values:

Be Mindful + Think Critically

Trust + Be Trusted

Collaborate + Communicate

Learn + Grow

Take Initiative

Get Stuff Done

We back up these Core Values with behavior, which in turn reflects our beliefs and inspires others to do the same.

Our Mission is to reinvent mortgage lending by providing end-to-end automation through our robotic operating platform. Essentially, we help small-to-medium mortgage lenders automate the repetitive parts of the loan process and free up humans to do what they do best. We like to think that we’re on the verge of a change in mortgage lending, and our products and culture reflect that.

Our Vision is to realize the full potential of automation and enable a superior customer and mortgage lender experience. Our current BOTs are only the beginning – we can’t wait to see how we can continue to improve human lives through technology.

We attract people who like working with the latest technology and enjoy creating advanced automation. We like to have fun at work and take pride in creating great software. We are committed to the professional and personal growth of our employees. We celebrate and respect each other as humans first and employees second. While we are still in startup growth mode, we are poised to do great things and need your help. Work with us!

What’s next:

After you apply on our careers page, you’ll be entered into our ATS. We will make every effort to communicate with you at every stage of your candidacy. It might just take longer than we’d all like. If your experience and energy match what we have in mind, our Director of Technology will reach out for a brief phone screen before sending you a quick asynchronous coding challenge. If we like what we see, you’ll jump on a video call with a couple of our experienced techs, and we’ll go from there!
