Technical Sourcer

Overview

Vesta is building a modern operating system for the mortgage industry, replacing outdated, manual homeownership workflows with a fully digital, automated platform. The company’s goal is to reshape the way lenders manage origination by offering an open, flexible, and orchestrated system of record for a large and complex market.

The team values humility, empathy, self-awareness, and a bias toward action, and is looking for someone excited to help build the hiring foundation for a company that is scaling its technical organization.
