Brace

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 we’re automating advice and document collection to help people stay in their homes. We’re a team of four engineers in midtown Manhattan and really positive feedback from initial customers means we have a lot of room to hire for: - Frontend engineering: it’s basically all React (using CRA) and so far that’s working out really well. - Backend engineering: Vert.x on Java11/12 running on AWS’ version of managed Kubernetes called EKS - 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. The company strives to have the most healthy work-life balance you’ll find in a startup that’s young enough that you can really take ownership of important application features.
