  • Make timely, accurate underwriting decisions in line with SoFi, GSE, and investor guidelines.
  • Manage a high-volume pipeline while maintaining consistent quality and SLA standards (target ≥ 4 initial credit decisions per day; 5-6 is strong).
  • Apply independent judgment to interpret GSE, investor, and agency overlays.
  • Collaborate closely with processors and loan officers to obtain and verify documentation.
  • Identify and escalate potential fraud or quality concerns.
  • Maintain high accuracy and compliance while balancing efficiency and throughput.
  • Minimum 2+ years of recent Conventional loan underwriting experience.
  • Active FHA DE (Direct Endorsement) certification required.
  • Strong understanding of credit policy, financial statement analysis, and property evaluation.
  • Proficiency with DU and LP automated underwriting systems.

  • Ability to evaluate and communicate complex credit scenarios with clarity and professionalism.
  • Experience maintaining production and quality control standards in a high-volume environment.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills; able to work independently while partnering cross-functionally.
  • Hybrid work schedule - 2 days per week in the Frisco, TX office.

  • College degree.
  • Experience in Jumbo, FHA, VA, or USDA underwriting.
