Lead underwriting organization to integrate judgment into software-driven mortgage underwriting process.
О компании
- America’s $13T mortgage market is one of the most important financial systems in the world. It underwrites the middle class and is the mechanism through which millions of families build wealth. But while every other financial instrument has been simplified to an API call, mortgages are still assembled by hand.
- We started from zero and created the first vertically integrated mortgage platform that turns origination into a single API.
- Publicly traded companies and the country’s largest originators are already building on . Revenue is compounding monthly. We’re backed by Peter Thiel, Conversion Capital, QED, Citi, Fifth Wall, and the founders of Ramp, Blend, and Mercury.
- Working at isn’t for those seeking comfort. The people who thrive here have high agency, strong opinions, and a track record of delivering outcomes without direction. Many of us are former founders. We move quickly, challenge each other directly, and take full ownership of results. It’s hard work, but it will be worth it.
- Join us in building America’s mortgage rails .
