You understand that a platform is only as good as the experience it provides to the teams building on it, and you are energized by helping development teams ship reliably and quickly.You hold a high bar for reliability, security, and operational hygiene — you proactively identify and resolve issues before they become incidents. You are comfortable operating at scale in a complex microservices environment and can context-switch between Terraform modules, Kubernetes troubleshooting, Kafka consumer lag, and pipeline failures.You value automation, documentation, and simplicity. You are pragmatic about technical debt and know when to fix it versus when to ship. You are comfortable working on a team of senior engineers, contributing your perspective, and adjusting quickly as you gain new information. #LI-REMOTE#LI-AN</div></div></div><div id="postingDetailsPreview"><div> </div></div><div class="content-conclusion"> Perks!As a Sagent Associate, you will be eligible to participate in our benefit programs beginning on Day #1!  We offer a comprehensive package including Remote/Hybrid workplace options, Health Benefits, Unlimited Flexible Time Off, Family Planning Services, Tuition Reimbursement, Paid Family Leave, 401(k) Matching, Pet Insurance, In-person and Virtual Social Experiences, Career Pathing, Focus Time Fridays and much, much more! Why Sagent?Sagent is transforming the mortgage servicing industry by bringing the modern experience customers now expect from loan originations to loan servicing.
