A set of mortgage documents can have over 100 pages and include 20+ fees. It can be difficult for a borrower/homebuyer to understand all these fees, and most have no idea if they're competitive. Loan officers or brokers aren't incentivized to get you the lowest rates on every line item. Sounds like this tool helps you understand if you're being overcharged.
Snapdocs, Inc. - San Francisco, CA - Software Engineers (rails) - Full Time, Onsite and Remote-leading-to-onsite
We're a small team tackling the absolutely massive mortgage market. We're bringing modern, elegant software to a field that still relies on fax machines and manilla envelopes. We are bringing security, efficiency and joy to a paper-based pillar of the US economy.
The type of problems we're tackling involve workflow, product design, and data. Rapid feature iteration? Oh, yeah! We do SaaS for non-technical users. Everyday, our clients call and email to say that we're making them happy, and that feels great. However, in this industry, most people are unaware of what modern software is capable of. That means we must do research, gather data and talk to customers to inform each of our choices.
Snapdocs's culture is one that trusts its team members to make smart decisions. This means we value both independent work as well as seeking collaboration. We're becoming ubiquitous in one segment of the market and we're looking to hire another core engineer to help us expand further.
More details: pivotal, git, rails 3&4, Postgres, slack, opsworks, AWS, jquery, balsamiq, coffee (as in... you know... code fuel)

SnapDocs (YC W14) - San Francisco - Full Time - Rails developer
About us: We're a small team tackling the huge offline market of consumer lending.
About you: You’ve got 3-5 years experience building web apps. You’re interested in owning a product, everything from calling clients to wireframes to writing code and analyzing metrics.
More about us: We're growing fast (double-digit month-over-month). We do SaaS for non-technical users. Everyday, our clients call and email to say that we're making them happy, and that feels great. We’re becoming ubiquitous in one segment of the market and we’re looking to hire another core engineer to help us expand further.
More about you: Ideally, you have ample experience with Rails, but we’re open minded. You should enjoy the struggle of application design and figuring out how to make something work.
Details: Our office is near Union Square in San Francisco. This is an onsite position. We offer health insurance and generous vacation. Compensation will be salary plus meaningful equity. As an early engineer you'll be shaping this company.
We’re a YC company building financial services tools. We're already cash-flow positive, and laptops, and office snacks, and etc. and so forth. and general good things. Here's what's awesome: we have non-technical customers paying us for an online tool. Everyday, our clients call and email to say that we're making them happy. And that feels great.
But there's one problem: parts of our product are a little bit ugly and a little bit confusing. We're rapidly adding new features, and we're quickly outpacing our design capabilities. In short, it’s time to hire a UX/UI designer.
Our clients use our product for hours at a time. This is their tool for getting their jobs done. It is their workflow. We want it to beautiful and intuitive. It should be easy for a new client to learn, while at the same time, it should make power users feel like they’re flying through their day.
You must have experience with The Struggle of Application Design. And frankly, you should enjoy this struggle, because it’s hard to get things right, but really rewarding when you do.
What would your first day on the job be like? Well, we’ve got a product live right now that processes several hundred orders per day. You now own the design and you will be responsible for improving it. Changes could be simple, like, ‘make this button blue’ or it could be more elaborate like, ‘add tooltips and a new customer tutorial,’ or maybe you might want to redesign aspects of the site from scratch. Ideally, within a couple weeks, clients should be telling us that they’ve noticed small, nice design improvements.
List of Responsibilities: - Design - Usability and Utility are more important (at the moment) than purely visual appeal. As a team, we frequently meet with our clients to learn how they’re using the product. A good candidate for this role will be able to speak to users and feel out their feelings.
List of Skills: - UI/UX design experience - Responsive design experience (a lot of our clients access our site on their phones) - HTML/CSS is great. At the moment, we’re using a lot of Bootstrap. Pixel perfect designs are not (yet) crucial; usability is paramount.
We’re in San Francisco on a trolley-filled street in Union Square. We’re small (3 in-office employees) and we’re still building a culture. If you have ideas for how to build a blissed-out company, we’re all ears. Thinking of moving to San Francisco, but not yet ready to commit? Talk to us.
