  • Provide written justification for loan decisions and required conditions
  • Partner with Loan Officers, Account Managers, and Operations to resolve file-level questions and move loans efficiently toward closing
  • Support quality control standards, including:
    • Pre-closing defect rate below 10%
    • Post-closing defect rate below 5%
  • Stay current on Non-QM guideline updates, investor overlays, and regulatory requirements
  • Contribute to a collaborative team environment focused on continuous improvement and shared success

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–5 years of mortgage underwriting experience, including exposure to Non-QM or alternative documentation loans
  • Working knowledge of Non-QM products such as:
    • Bank Statement programs
    • DSCR
    • Asset Utilization
    • 1099 income
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to evaluate complex borrower profiles
  • Clear, professional written and verbal communication skills
  • A coachable mindset with a desire to learn, grow, and evolve within the role
  • Strong time management skills and the ability to prioritize in a fast-paced environment
  • Sound judgment, attention to detail, and a high level of accountability

What We Offer

  • Highly subsidized medical insurance
  • Low-cost dental and vision insurance
  • 401(k) program
  • Health Savings Account (HSA)
  • Generous paid time off and company holidays
  • Ongoing training, mentorship, and professional development opportunities

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
