Head of Origination Systems & AI

Urrly•New York, NY

3d•Onsite

About The Position

Build the operating system for a fast-moving real estate capital platform. This role owns the systems behind origination, underwriting, onboarding, draw management, and reporting. It is a hands-on systems role for someone who knows asset origination and is genuinely AI-native in how they learn, prototype, and solve practical problems. Basic ChatGPT or Claude chat usage is not enough; the right person is curious enough to stay on the frontier of AI-assisted building tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar tools, even if that experimentation happened outside their formal job. A personal app, workflow automation, script, dashboard, prototype, or practical tool counts if it shows hands-on curiosity, SDLC awareness, and a bias toward making usable things.

Requirements

3-7 years at an asset originator.
Direct loan or financial-asset origination experience.
Hands-on underwriting, onboarding, draw, or reporting exposure.
Genuine AI-native curiosity: hands-on experimentation with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar AI-assisted coding/building tools to solve a practical problem, even if personal.
Practical understanding of the software development lifecycle: scoping, requirements, testing, iteration, deployment/release, and feedback loops. You do not need to be a production engineer, but you need to understand how software gets built and shipped.
Startup pace; high ownership; low need for oversight.
New York City based.
No originator experience = not a fit.

Nice To Haves

SFR, DSCR, HELOC, HEI, or home-equity exposure.
Experience at tech-forward lending or origination platforms.
Loan operating system or workflow automation experience.
Deployed a personal app, internal tool, script, dashboard, or workflow automation.
Experience translating operating workflows into PRDs, build specs, data requirements, or acceptance criteria.
Comfort working directly with founders.

Responsibilities

Translate operating reality into PRDs, SOPs, dashboards, internal tools, and automation opportunities.
Ship process changes without heavy committees.
Create the pipes between capital and local originators.
