Pennymac (NYSE: PFSI) is a specialty financial services firm with a comprehensive mortgage platform and integrated business focused on the production and servicing of U.S. mortgage loans and the management of investments related to the U.S. mortgage market.
At Pennymac, our people are the foundation of our success and at the heart of our dynamic work culture. Together, we work towards a unified goal of helping millions of Americans achieve aspirations of homeownership through the complete mortgage journey.
We are seeking a Full Stack Developer (AI-Native) to join our Digital Customer Experience (DCX) engineering team. In this role, you will lead the development, optimization, and maintenance of our customer-facing web platforms and APIs. You will act as the primary owner of the transactional payment processing engine, pricing/fee rules, and pipeline automation systems, leveraging cutting-edge AI coding assistants to drive immense engineering velocity, safety, and codebase elegance.
Core Responsibilities
- Monorepo & Full-Stack Codebase Stewardship: Maintain, scale, and optimize core frontend and backend monorepos containing React (React 19+) web platforms, TypeScript, and Node.js APIs. Ensure robust error handling, secure authentication flows, and high-performance execution.
- Domain Ownership (Payments & Rules Engine): Design, refactor, and safeguard complex payment rules, fee calculation logic, and financial validation flows. Ensure all transactional workflows are highly resilient, compliant, and thoroughly covered by automated test suites.
- AI-Augmented Engineering: Embrace and champion AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate development velocity, run complex codebase refactoring safely, and generate robust test coverage. Contribute to internal developer tools, AI agent integrations, or LLM-powered features.
- Code Health & Complexity Management: Actively monitor and refactor application files to maintain low cyclomatic complexity. Prevent technical debt buildup by decomposing monolithic codebases (such as routing and state controllers) into testable, modular units.
- Mentorship & AI Standards: Mentor junior and mid-level engineers on AI-augmented coding workflows, prompting best practices, and secure AI-generated code validation.
- CI/CD, IaC & Automation: Own and optimize delivery pipelines and developer workspaces. Configure automated formatting, continuous integration tests (such as cross-platform line endings), and work alongside DevOps utilizing Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation) where applicable.
Required Technical Profile
- Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, engineering, or related field with 5+ years of professional software development experience (or equivalent practical experience).
- Enterprise Full-Stack Architecture: Expert-level proficiency in ReactJS and modern front-end development patterns, alongside strong backend engineering skills in Node.js / TypeScript (scalable API design, database schema optimization, secure authentication).
- AI-Native Tooling: Proven track record of incorporating AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, LLM-based CLI tooling) into your daily development workflow to dramatically increase delivery speed and code accuracy.
- Monorepo & Complexity Management: Practical expertise managing multi-project workspaces (monorepos) to ensure strict separation of concerns, alongside a proven habit of decomposing complex/monolithic modules into lightweight custom hooks or utilities.
- Payment/Rules Logic: Experience developing financial checkout systems, transactional rules engines, automated payment schedules, or complex business logic flows.
Preferred Skills:
- Cloud & IaC (Preferred): Exposure to cloud environments (AWS preferred), containerization, or Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK).
- AI Innovation (Preferred): Familiarity with LLM integration, RAG pipelines, or vector databases.
As one of the top mortgage lenders in the country, Pennymac has helped over 4 million lifetime homeowners achieve and sustain their aspirations of home.

Mid Level AI Developer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level ai developer job?
Position yourself around ownership and impact, not just task completion. Highlight projects where you drove a model from prototype to production, made design trade-offs, or improved a system's performance measurably. Recruiters at this level want evidence you can work with ambiguity, so lead your resume with outcomes and scope rather than a list of tools or frameworks you have touched.
Which companies hire mid level ai developers?
Companies hiring mid level ai developers right now include NVIDIA, Google, and Booz Allen Hamilton, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a broad mix of employers, including large technology firms building internal AI platforms, product companies embedding ML into their core offerings, and consulting organizations scaling AI delivery teams.
Are there remote mid level ai developer jobs?
Yes, remote and hybrid options are common at this level. About 31% of mid level ai developer openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, reflecting how many engineering teams have normalized distributed work for roles that center on code, models, and data pipelines rather than physical presence.
How do I move up to a mid level ai developer role?
Growth from entry level into mid level comes from accumulating genuine ownership over time. That means moving beyond assigned tickets toward shipping end-to-end features, developing a deeper specialization in an area like NLP, computer vision, or ML infrastructure, and building a record of measurable impact. Seeking out projects with real production stakes and learning to communicate technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders accelerates that progression.
Which industries hire the most mid level ai developers?
Mid Level ai developer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Banking & Financial Services, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they are past early AI experimentation and actively scaling production systems, which requires engineers who can own complex components rather than just contribute to them.
