About BetterID

BetterID is a digital verification service helping real estate and financial companies verify people, companies, and documents quickly, securely, and compliantly.

It’s still early days, we have a product that’s already making a difference and a market that’s wide open. BetterID is part of the BetterHome Group’s PropTech investments (the same team behind PropertyEngine and Nurture).

You’ll be joining a small, focused team.

We move fast, and value people who take the lead.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Engineer who’s ready to take full ownership of BetterID’s backend.

You’ll be the person who decides how it’s built, scaled, and evolved over the next few years.

If you’re the kind of developer who prefers figuring it out and shipping it, not waiting for permission, you’ll fit right in.

You’ll work closely with the Product Manager and our Division CTO to push the product forward, explore new opportunities, and turn ideas into production‑grade systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Re‑platform BetterID to a backend that you’ll design and own.
• Architect, deploy, and maintain a reliable, scalable service.
• Make the big technical calls : frameworks, tooling, infra, pipelines.
• Use Azure and GCP AI services for OCR, bank statement, and ID parsing.
• Keep our uptime solid with proper monitoring, alerting, and sanity checks (think Sentry, uptime robots, logs that actually help).
• Work with product, design, and frontend to ship stuff fast.
• Help shape where we go next : new integrations, APIs, and verification flows.
