Location: Dallas / Irving, TX

Team: Engineering – Tinman AI Platform

Employment Type: Full-Time, In-Office

About Better

Better is reimagining homeownership and financial access for all Americans. Since our founding in 2016, we’ve funded over $100 billion in home loans and are now expanding our SaaS platform to power the next generation of lenders and partners across the country. Through our Tinman platform, we’re building the infrastructure for digital mortgage origination—faster, smarter, and more affordable than ever before.

The Opportunity

We’re building our first engineering team in the Dallas / Irving area, and we’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who’s ready to make an immediate impact. This is a rare opportunity to help be a founding employee in a new office and shape the future of the revolutionary platform that powers the mortgage industry.

You’ll work directly with our mortgage partners every day—building tools, APIs, and user experiences that make the complex simple, and the expensive efficient. You’ll collaborate with product, design, and operations teams to streamline workflows, reduce cost per loan, and make the homeownership journey more transparent and accessible.

If you want to see the impact of your work up close—talking with users, shipping code, and shaping how America’s leading mortgage platform operates—this is the place.

Responsibilities

·         Build and enhance Tinman, the AI platform that powers Better’s SaaS and mortgage operations.

·         Partner directly with business stakeholders and loan operations teams to understand friction points and design smarter, simpler workflows.

·         Design and implement robust, scalable APIs and workflows that integrate with mortgage, partner, and compliance systems.

·         Collaborate with engineers across Better to evolve our SaaS offerings and support tenanted partner integrations.

·         Contribute to a culture of learning, excellence, and experimentation—helping establish our Dallas team’s engineering identity from the ground up.

About You

·         5 years of professional experience in software engineering.

·         Proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, React, or similar modern frameworks.

·         Strong understanding of API design, distributed systems, and scalable architectures.

·         Comfortable working directly with business users and operations teams to identify problems and design pragmatic solutions.

·         Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where you’re empowered to make decisions and deliver impact quickly.

·         Excited by the challenge of building a new engineering culture and office presence from the ground up.

Nice to Have

·         Experience in fintech, proptech, or other regulated data environments.

·         Familiarity with mortgage technology or B2B2C SaaS platforms.

·         Background in systems integration, workflow automation, or data processing pipelines.

·         A passion for simplifying complex business processes and making technology more human-friendly.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

·         Be a founding engineer in a new city—helping shape the culture, technical standards, and product direction of our Dallas hub.

·         Work side-by-side with real users—loan officers, processors, and business partners—to build solutions that have immediate impact.

·         Join a company that’s transforming the mortgage industry with technology, data, and design.

·         Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits, plus a hybrid setup focused on collaboration and learning.
