Founding Security Infrastructure Engineer

Rockstar is recruiting for a market-leading AI voice agent company for mortgage lenders. Founded in 2024, the company has grown rapidly, reaching $13M in revenue within 20 months and counting 5 of the 10 largest independent mortgage banks in the U.S. as enterprise customers. If successful, the cost of homeownership could decrease by about 1%. The company is well-funded with $21M raised from top investors.

Why This Is a Huge Opportunity

Around 1% of the U.S. labor force works in phone sales, representing roughly $100B of annual salary, and the industry is poised at the brink of complete disruption. The company is at the cutting edge of this economic transformation, one of the first companies creating real, durable economic value through applied AI.

Buying a house is the largest financial decision most people make in their lives, and homeownership is tied to many other purchases, including life insurance, homeowners insurance, alarm systems, home renovations, solar panels, and more. By owning the mortgage vertical, the company will own the relationship with the consumer, allowing it to serve as the essential AI infrastructure for high consideration consumer sales.

Why Join

• Crazy growth: The market pull is exhilarating — the company has grown 10x in the past 12 months and more than 100x since its seed round, all without a dedicated sales or marketing team. Building something that people want so badly is the best feeling you can have in a startup.
• Team and Culture: The company is a high-agency team where the bar is high and everyone makes the people around them better. Collaboration and intensity are core team values: people truly care about their work and their coworkers. At the same time, the team doesn't take itself too seriously.
• Challenging problems: Outperforming human sales teams on half a million daily calls is not easy. Low-latency, real-time infra. 99.9% uptime. Enterprise-grade privacy and security. Advanced simulation and evaluation systems. Flexible A/B testing. AI scheduler and dialer. The company owns the whole stack and does not compromise on quality.
• Well-funded: The company has raised $21M+ in total funding, most recently a $15M Series A in June 2026.
