Zippy is a fintech company rethinking how people buy one of the most overlooked forms of housing in the U.S.—manufactured homes. Instead of the slow, fragmented, paperwork-heavy mortgage process, Zippy has built a fully digital, end-to-end lending platform that makes getting a home loan fast, simple, and actually user-friendly.

What makes it interesting for an engineer: you’re not just building CRUD apps - you’re owning complex, multi-system infrastructure that touches lending, underwriting, compliance, and customer experience, all in a space that’s historically underserved and inefficient.

At its core, Zippy is using software to unlock access to affordable housing—turning a broken, manual financial process into a scalable, tech-driven product that directly impacts people’s ability to become homeowners.

We’re currently hiring Senior II and Staff Engineers with experience in functional programming languages.

These positions are REMOTE but we are hiring in the following states ONLY: Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin.

QUIC, but TCP experience and not UDP? Sorry, being a little pedantic but it's a real question.

You can't rely on UDP experience.

We didn't want to get too wordy with a post like this. But to be honest, if you are knowledgeable enough to spot that kind of gap, you might be a perfect fit for what we are working on ;)
