We're reimagining the title industry - the industry everyone has to deal with when buying a house, but few know even exists.


Why join us?

  • We're the first company with a REST API in an industry with $15B annual sales. We're also the first title company to invent a way to use ACH transfer for a house refinancing - before us you couldn't even pay your closing costs online.

  • We're in production with numerous lenders, with a sales pipeline lined up to grow the next xN. We're also funded by brand name capital sources.

  • We're at the leading edge of using productive technologies. Kotlin is only beginning to spread in mainstream back-end programming, and is very much bleeding edge on the front-end - and we have it all in production.


Engineering at Spruce

Engineering team and processes

Junior engineers report to VP of engineering, senior - directly to the CTO. Process is what you would call a variation of kanban. We're specifically heavy on intra-team communication, asking questions and sharing information.

Technical Challenges

We're an escrow agency for most of our closings, which is essentially a bank - a click, an API call, or a database transaction can potentially cost thousands of dollars out of our pocket.
