- Execute with Excellence: Guide your team in shipping complex, large-scale projects where availability, correctness, and security are critical. This includes hands-on technical design, code reviews, and ensuring your team’s architecture is sound, scalable, and meets business needs.
- Own the Full Lifecycle: You will lead the end-to-end execution of your team's roadmap, from initial planning and milestone definition with Product Management, to managing timelines, communicating risk, and collaborating with key stakeholders throughout.
- Champion Quality: Set and maintain a high bar for engineering and operational quality, with a sharp focus on the compliance and correctness required in our lending systems. You'll leverage data from customers and systems to iterate and improve our products rapidly.
Requirements
- Proven AI/ML Leadership: You have successfully led a team in building and shipping production software systems that leverage traditional ML and/or Gen AI models to achieve concrete business goals.

- People Leadership: You are an exceptional people manager who knows how to attract, develop, and retain top talent. You see mentorship as one of the most important parts of your job.
- Execution: You have a track record of delivering complex, large-scale projects in a dynamic, fast-paced business environment.

- B.S. degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).
- No real-estate or mortgage experience is needed, but a hunger to learn our business is!
