Job Description

At Unmortgage we enable everyone to live in the home they want. We are opening up home ownership by co-investing with people who haven't been able to buy yet.​

Over the next 18 months we will help 2,000 customers find their dream home. We are looking for a Backend Developer to join the Unmortgage Dev Team.

This isn't going to be a boring job. Buying a home is one of the most life-changing things people ever do. At Unmortgage, we walk this journey with our customers, guiding them through every step. Reporting to Oisin Mulvihill (LinkedIn), you will be building backend systems that help facilitate the entire home buying experience, optimising and speeding up the process to make it a truly incredible experience for our customers.

Fairness is our core value and drives everything we do. It allows us to balance the home owning aspirations of our customers with our investors' needs for financial security. It also governs how we treat each other.

Come build the future of home ownership with us

End-to-end the process takes 2-7 working days, depending on your availability.
