Principal Software Engineer, Front End - Remote

Overview

Tomo’s mission is not just to make homebuying joyful, or to make homebuying easy, or to make homebuying fast. Tomo’s mission is to advantage the homebuyer. Everyone else is in line ready to take their cut from a homebuyer - and all too often that cut is not deserved. We are by their side trying to give them a leg up, trying to give them information others don’t have, give them advice others don’t have, give them a lower cost that others don’t have - all that they can use to achieve better outcomes than they’d be able to otherwise.
