Software Engineer - New Grad (Fall 2025 Graduation)

Pylon is seeking a New Grad Software Engineer to join their ambitious team building programmatic mortgage infrastructure. The role offers a unique opportunity to work on complex problems in the mortgage space, using modern technologies like TypeScript, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL.

The ideal candidate will be joining a small, high-performing team where they'll have significant impact and ownership. This isn't a typical CRUD application role - engineers work on deep technical challenges requiring first-principles thinking and innovative solutions. The team uses various advanced tools including LLMs, mixed-integer linear optimization, and concepts from programming language research.

The position requires someone who thrives in ambiguity, learns quickly, and isn't afraid of tackling difficult problems. You'll be working in a regulated space where precision and reliability are crucial. As part of a small team, you'll need to be a generalist willing to work across the stack and take initiative in improving both code and infrastructure.

Pylon offers competitive benefits including stock options, health insurance, and dental coverage. The company is well-backed by notable investors including Peter Thiel, Citi, Conversion Capital, and QED, as well as founders of successful fintech companies like Ramp, Mercury, and Blend.

The role is based in Menlo Park with an in-office work style, perfect for new graduates looking to make a significant impact in fintech while working with cutting-edge technology. You'll be part of building a platform that's revolutionizing mortgage originations through technology and automation.
