You'll be a founding member of our AI team, working directly with the CTO to automate mortgage underwriting. Your job is to take complex, open-ended problems and figure out how to solve them-sometimes that means LLMs, sometimes it's a rules engine, sometimes it's a vendor API, and sometimes it's just good code. Mortgage underwriting involves hundreds of discrete verification, compliance, and validation steps. You'll be tackling these sub-problems one by one-each is greenfield and requires different technical approaches. You'll define the approach, architect the solution, write a significant portion of the code yourself, and ship it to production. As the team grows, you'll determine how to split up the work and set technical direction. This isn't a pure ML role-we're not training models from scratch. It's also not about integrating off-the-shelf APIs. It's about having strong technical judgment to pick the right tool for each problem, then building production systems that work in a regulated environment. You'll be hands-on from day one. Week one includes taking an underwriter certification course to deeply understand the domain you're automating. You'll work in our existing mortgage engine codebase, building new automation services that integrate with the platform.
