Staircase

Staircase is an API Platform for the US residential mortgage industry. We were founded by mortgage industry and technology experts with a mission of eliminating friction to technology adoption in the mortgage market to move the industry towards a lower cost, better borrower experience. Our platform aggregates existing data and technology services into low-code, mortgage-focused API products. By bringing the best technology available to lenders’ fingertips, our platform enables faster, more cost efficient mortgage underwriting. We also support the innovation ecosystem by providing APIs that can be used to build mortgage-focused software and products faster, cheaper, and more securely than ever before. We have 100+ functional teams and we are hiring across several teams. We approach all work as an engineering problem where the output of our work can be productized. This means that we view all work as ultimately a software product and all team members therefore as Engineers at Staircase. We have streamlined our organization into three key roles; planner, builder and measurer roles. The Product Engineer plans the product roadmap, vision, strategy, and execution to achieve product goals. The Software Engineer builds the software product itself. The Business Engineer measures inputs, outputs, efficiency, and trajectory to achieve product and organizational goals. We have a very flat organizational structure and believe standardization and simplification across these key roles allows our team members to have the most autonomy and to make the biggest impact at Staircase as you grow with us. We are a fully-remote, globally distributed team offering 100% remote flexibility to our employees. Founded in 2019, we are privately held and backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, RRE Ventures, Zigg Capital, along with other notable angel investors.
