Point | Palo Alto, CA | ONSITE | VISA | Full-time | Senior Full-stack Software Engineer, Senior Front-end Software Engineer | www.point.com Point offers homeowners a way to open a portion of their home equity to investors, who then share in the appreciation (or depreciation) of the home. With an investment from Point, homeowners can achieve their financial goals without any monthly payments. Examples might include paying off existing debt, renovating their home, or handling unexpected medical expenses. Our tech stack consists largely of Ruby on Rails, React, PostgreSQL, and Heroku. We’re product focused and in the words of Joel Spolsky, looking for smart people that get things done. Your responsibilities would include working with other teams, designers, and product/engineering to implement new features, improve our architecture, and take the lead to launch new products. We hire carefully and as a result we have a friendly and professional team (https://point.com/about_us). We offer competitive market compensation and benefits, with an excellent work-life balance throughout the company that is reflected in our 4.9 score on Glassdoor. Point is headed by proven, experienced leadership who have founded companies acquired by Visa, McAfee, and Buy.com. We’re backed by prominent investors including Andreessen Horowitz and we’ve established relationships with major institutional investors to invest into homes. In the last year we’ve grown our team from thirty to eighty while growing our revenues by 10x. We’d love to have you join us for the journey.
