Do you care deeply about helping people thrive financially?

At Point, you’ll join an experienced team working to create a new approach to home equity financing. Along the way, we are introducing the world to a new asset class that helps people improve their finances and aligns the interests of investors and homeowners.

We are looking for experienced front-end engineers to build the platform that homeowners use to sell equity in their homes, underwriters use to make funding decisions, and investors use to track their investments.

Expect to:

• Turn wireframes and design mockups into pixel perfect web applications
• Collaborate with back-end engineers, designers and product managers to create an engaging and transparent customer experience
• Create tools that clearly communicate complex concepts and simplify information-intensive workflows
• Enhance and extend our in-house design system to drive consistency and quality across our products

Our front-end stack is based on the React ecosystem, integrated with a Ruby on Rails backend using Webpacker and running on Heroku.

You Are:

Passionate -- You care deeply about design consistency and understand the value of design as a tool for forming customer perception as well as improving the productivity and accuracy of our customer operations team.

Experienced -- You have at least three years of front-end web development experience that has given you a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of what it takes to ship quality software.

Expert -- You use your comprehensive knowledge of HTML, CSS, and Javascript fundamentals along with a panoramic view of the rapidly evolving landscape of front-end development technologies to choose the right tool for the job.

Innovative -- You take the initiative to find new ways to solve problems. You help the team understand your point of view and advocate for great solutions.
