Blend helps lenders maximize their digital agility. Our digital lending platform is used by Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, and other leading financial institutions to increase customer acquisition, improve productivity, and accelerate the delivery of any banking product across every channel. We process more than $3.5 billion in mortgages and consumer loans daily, helping millions of consumers get into homes and gain access to the capital they need to lead better lives.
Blend is in a very interesting phase right now. We’re no longer a startup that’s just building a product as quickly as possible. Now, it's a balance between moving fast, but also having a more long term view of how we build our software. Blend has many internal systems to make it easy for our software engineers to build new experiences for our customers. The engineering team is looking for its first Technical Writer to enable the next phase of Blend’s growth by creating technical documentation for the internal services, tools, and libraries that Blend software engineers build upon to deliver its digital lending platform to financial institutions.
