About The Position

At MGIC, we take pride in knowing that what we do matters. As pioneers of private mortgage insurance, we help people achieve homeownership sooner - making affordable low-down-payment mortgages a reality. Our efforts have helped more than 14 million people get the keys to their own homes sooner than otherwise possible. Every position is critical to our company's success - from the analytical to the technical; from the innovative to the operational. The customer-facing roles to behind-the-scenes experts, we're all part of one team.
