Pylon

<div><p><b>About Pylon</b></p><p>
America&rsquo;s $13T mortgage market is one of the most important financial systems in the world. It underwrites the middle class and is the mechanism through which millions of families build wealth. But while every other financial instrument has been simplified to an API call, mortgages are still assembled by hand.</p><p>
We started from zero and created the first vertically integrated mortgage platform that turns origination into a single API.</p><p>
Publicly traded companies and the country&rsquo;s largest originators are already building on Pylon. Revenue is compounding monthly. We&rsquo;re backed by Peter Thiel, Conversion Capital, QED, Citi, Fifth Wall, and the founders of Ramp, Blend, and Mercury.</p><p>
Working at Pylon isn&rsquo;t for those seeking comfort. The people who thrive here have high agency, strong opinions, and a track record of delivering outcomes without direction. Many of us are former founders. We move quickly, challenge each other directly, and take full ownership of results. It&rsquo;s hard work, but it will be worth it.</p><p>
Join us in building<b> America&rsquo;s mortgage rails</b>.</p><p></p><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
The Team</b></h2><p>
We're looking for Back End Engineers to join our API team. We treat our GraphQL API as a product &mdash; because it is one. Multiple customers build directly on top of it, and the quality of their experience is determined by how well we design, document, and maintain it.</p><p>
Mortgage is a surprisingly rich domain to model. It's path-dependent: the choices you make early in a loan constrain what's possible later. It's nonlinear: different borrower situations branch into wildly different flows. Most APIs in this space paper over that complexity. We're building one that embraces it &mdash; encoding the real shape of mortgage into a surface that's impossible to misuse and delightful to build against.</p><p></p><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Here Is What You'll Do</b></h2><ul><li><p><b>
Define what a mortgage is in code.</b> Seriously. You'll work on semantic models that don't just represent mortgages as they exist today &mdash; they expand what a mortgage can be. This is product design at the API layer.</p></li><li><p><b>
Build toward an event-driven API.</b> We're moving to a world where our API doesn't just respond to requests &mdash; it tells you what happened, why, and what you can do next. You'll help design and ship that future.</p></li><li><p><b>
Make the complex feel simple.</b> Our API should make the mortgage process impossible to get wrong. That means thoughtful abstractions, clear documentation, and an obsessive focus on developer experience.</p></li><li><p><b>
Design for nonlinearity.</b> Mortgage flows aren't linear wizards. Our future API encodes choice, branching, and path-dependence natively. You'll work on guided experiences that model real-world complexity without exposing it as chaos.</p></li><li><p><b>
Treat this as a product surface.</b> You'll think about breaking changes, versioning, onboarding, and the full lifecycle of an API that real companies depend on.</p></li></ul><p></p><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>

Backend Engineer, API

OpenAI

<div>
 <strong>
  About The Team
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 Our team brings OpenAI&rsquo;s most capable technology to the world through our developer platform: the OpenAI API. As the leading AI development platform, our API is used by millions of developers and the majority of enterprises around the world, and powers the majority of AI applications that you may use on a daily basis. Most recently, we&rsquo;ve released gpt-5, gpt-realtime, Responses API, Agents SDK, and many other products and features.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  About The Role
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 We are looking for a software engineer to own the design of our APIs. Our API
 <em>
  is
 </em>
 our product, and as such we treat its design and development with care and intentionality. Every endpoint, every field name, and every enum value is a product interface that we want to design well. We are looking for engineers who not only love building APIs, but who will also sweat the details around API design and have a discerning taste for well designed API experience. You will play a major role in shaping the future roadmap of the OpenAI API &ndash; by both building and designing it.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  In This Role, You Will
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 <ul>
  <li>
   Design and build products that we launch in API &ndash; extending existing endpoints, adding new endpoints, or rethinking our entire API suite.
  </li>
  <li>
   Play a major role in our API Review process &ndash; working with all other teams to ensure our APIs meet our design standard.
  </li>
  <li>
   Collaborate closely with the rest of the API team, our Developer Experience team, and our GTM team to make our APIs the best in the world.
   <br/>
   <br/>
  </li>
 </ul>
 <strong>
  You Might Thrive In This Role If You
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 <ul>
  <li>
   Appreciate taste in API design &ndash; you believe there are well designed APIs and poorly designed APIs
  </li>
  <li>
   Can thrive and operate independently in a fast-paced environment with ambiguous requirements and goals
  </li>
  <li>
   Love building for other developers, and thrive on feedback from opinionated users
  </li>
  <li>
   Are an engineer at heart, but are willing to lean into product decisions.
  </li>
  <li>
   Think of APIs as ladders.
   <br/>
   <br/>
  </li>
 </ul>
