About Pylon

America’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.

We started from zero and created the first vertically integrated mortgage platform that turns origination into a single API.

Publicly traded companies and the country’s largest originators are already building on Pylon. Revenue is compounding monthly. We’re backed by Peter Thiel, Conversion Capital, QED, Citi, Fifth Wall, and the founders of Ramp, Blend, and Mercury.

Working at Pylon isn’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’s hard work, but it will be worth it.

You will be our first dedicated talent leader. You're not inheriting a machine; you're building one. If you do this well, you become one of the highest-leverage people in the company.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Build the in-house talent engine. Stand up sourcing, pipeline, and full-cycle recruiting as an internal capability. Wean us off contingent agencies and per-hire fees, build a sourcing motion that compounds, and hire/lead a small team (recruiters, sourcers, including offshore support) as volume demands.

Steward the culture. As we s...
