Head of Origination Systems & AI

Urrly•New York, NY

4d•$200,000 - $225,000•Onsite

About The Position

Build the operating system for a fast-moving real estate capital platform. Our client connects institutional capital with local real estate operators. You will own the systems behind origination, underwriting, onboarding, draw management, and reporting. This is not a pure software role. It is not a pure product role. 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 by itself. 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. Your work turns a fragmented origination process into a scalable platform. Own the operating system day one. You like pace and ownership. You start, finish, follow through.

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.
