About Pylon

The $13 trillion mortgage industry at the core of the American economy runs on broken assembly lines with human-powered workflows, stitched-together software, and a series of capital markets intermediates. The costs to originate are at an all time high despite foundational shifts in technology.

Pylon is rewiring mortgages from the ground up. We are building the only API-first, programmatic infrastructure that fully automates credit, compliance, capital, and operations. For the first time, originators can build and scale mortgage businesses entirely through software, not people. Our team comes from Stripe, Better, and Affirm, and we are backed by Conversion Capital, QED, Citi, Fifth Wall, Peter Thiel, and the founders of Ramp, Mercury, Blend, and others

About The Role

We’re seeking an entrepreneurial Loan Processor. This role involves hands-on management of our originating customers as well as cross collaboration with internal partners to ensure efficient, compliant loan originations. This will be achieved whilst enhancing systems and workflows for high-quality, scalable operations.

We are not a traditional mortgage lender. If you're ready to take on a challenging yet highly rewarding role, and are excited about building flexible automated systems with rigorous oversight that can scale, this opportunity is for you.
