You’ll work directly with stakeholders across investments, risk, finance, and operations, driving tangible business impact through technology.

• Build and maintain Python-based tools supporting mortgage analytics, valuation, and reporting.
• Develop production-grade applications and contribute to the migration of legacy models.
• Identify automation opportunities across data pipelines, analytics, and reporting.
• Collaborate with business teams to gather requirements and deliver scalable solutions.
• Champion best practices in testing, documentation, and maintainability.

Requirements

• Strong proficiency in Python.
• Experience delivering solutions in business-facing environments.
• Exposure to mortgages, fixed income, or structured assets desirable.
• Familiarity with Rust or C++ beneficial but not required.
• Strong problem‑solving, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
