We are a leading Enterprise AI and Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) company helping global organizations automate document-heavy workflows across mortgage, insurance, construction, and manufacturing.

We are looking for a Subject Matter Expert (SME) – US Mortgage Underwriting. As our go-to authority on underwriting and QC, you will work directly with US lender and servicer clients and guide our product, AI, and operations teams.

  • Handle client escalations and guideline-interpretation questions, and support pre-sales, demos, and RFPs
  • Act as the final authority on complex underwriting and QC decisions across VA, FHA, and Conventional loans
  • Audit pre- and post-closing QC reviews for accuracy and root cause, and flag recurring defect patterns
  • Define extraction fields, validation rules, and edge cases for mortgage documents, and review AI output for accuracy
  • Track regulatory and guideline updates (VA, HUD, GSE, TRID, ATR/QM), support audits, and train internal and client teams

Must-Have Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business, or a related field
  • 7+ years in US residential mortgage underwriting and/or post-closing QC across VA, FHA, and Conventional loans
  • Proven client-facing experience with US clients, including handling escalations
  • Expert knowledge of VA Pamphlet 26-7, HUD 4000.1, and the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac guides
  • DE certification (FHA) and VA SAR, or equivalent
  • Experience with Encompass, ACES, DocMagic, Calyx, or similar platforms
  • Excellent communication skills and flexibility to overlap with US business hours

Good-to-Have Skills

  • CMB or similar certification
  • Experience in mortgage tech, SaaS, consulting, or customer success
  • Exposure to AI/IDP automation or to writing business requirements
  • HUD/VA audit or investor QC experience
  • Excel/Power BI reporting, or a Six Sigma/Lean background

Looking forward to speaking with you!
