What this job asks for AI summary
A full-stack software engineering role at a fintech company whose platform processes a significant share of US mortgage originations. The engineer will build features across the front-end and back-end, with a strong emphasis on integrating AI coding agents (such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex) into daily development workflows. The role is explicitly targeted at early-career engineers who already work in an AI-first manner and are comfortable owning production code end-to-end.

Why we read it this way (5)
The back-end language requirement lists Node.js, TypeScript, and Golang as interchangeable options ('such as'); TypeScript is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives. Node.js and Golang are also widely used independently, but the posting frames them as a set of acceptable choices for the same requirement.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree… or equivalent practical experience', so no formal degree is hard-gated.
The posting explicitly targets early-career engineers with 1–3 years of experience; seniority is assessed as Junior accordingly, even though the title 'Software Engineer' carries no level modifier.
AI coding agent proficiency (Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex) is framed as a core daily-use requirement throughout the qualifications section, not merely a nice-to-have, so it is marked as required with the named tools as alternatives to one another.
The role is explicitly in-office in Raleigh, NC — not remote.
