Tomo
About Tomo
Tomo’s mission is not just to make homebuying joyful, or to make homebuying easy, or to make homebuying fast. Tomo’s mission is to advantage the homebuyer. Everyone else is in line ready to take their cut from a homebuyer - and all too often that cut is not deserved. We are by their side trying to give them a leg up, trying to give them information others don’t have, give them advice others don’t have, give them a lower cost that others don’t have - all that they can use to achieve better outcomes than they’d be able to otherwise.
The joy of owning a home should never be overshadowed by the hassle of buying one.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has empathy for users and enjoys building customer-facing products that improve the home buying journey— discovering, touring, buying and owning!
- Brings their own unique background and experiences to the team, adding fresh ideas and perspectives.
- Accepts the ambiguity of startups and is eager to collaborate with others to determine what needs to be done to drive a project forward.
- Contributes wherever they can provide the most value, even if it’s not their area of expertise
- Wants to hone their craft as a software engineer and is excited to learn new technologies.
- Eagerly mentors and collaborates with other members of the team.
- Enjoys working with a geographically distributed team (US)
You'll be:
- Building high performance customer experiences using a combination of React, Next.js, Tailwind, Typescript, Storybook and a mix of client- and server-side rendered pages
- Supporting deployed systems in production as part of an on-call rotation.
- Contributing to healthy software engineering practices – including code review, automated testing (95% code coverage), and continuous delivery
- Working closely with user experience designers in promoting accessibility best practices, design languages and brand recognition efforts
- Partnering with other engineers to define API contracts and the structure of the backend, server, and client components
You'll need:
- A history (3+ years) of delivering meaningful software projects to production – from conception through design, delivery, and iteration
- Expertise delivering high-quality customer experiences, including a good understanding of front-end technology stacks and how to use them to produce performant, satisfying, well-crafted user experiences.
- Understanding of modern software engineering practices, including logging, monitoring, continuous deployment, and automated testing
- Experience with React and/or Next.js
You might also have:
- Experience with AWS and cloud-based deployment and operational contexts.
- Experience in working on fintech or home lending technology systems.
- Experience with large consumer-facing websites
- Experience with SEO, site performance, and tools like PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse
