Role Overview  
As a Part‑Time Residential Mortgage Loan Underwriter Consultant at JazzX AI, you will leverage your deep expertise in underwriting to build AI-technology to support mortgage underwriting activities.

    • Document underwriting rationale, risk profiles, and exception handling. 
  • Process Mapping & Rule Development

    • Identify critical decision points and edge cases crucial for AI modeling. 
  • Model Validation & Feedback

    • Provide granular feedback to engineering teams to fine-tune decision rules and confidence thresholds.

    • Host virtual workshops or Q&A sessions to transfer domain knowledge to cross-functional teams. 
Required Qualifications  
  • Experience: 5–10 years in residential mortgage underwriting at a senior or specialist level.
  • GSE Mastery: Deep, hands-on knowledge of Fannie Mae DU and/or Freddie Mac LP guidelines.
  • Analytical Acumen: Proven ability to assess borrower credit, income, assets, and collateral with accuracy and consistency.
  • Communication: Exceptional verbal and written skills to articulate underwriting logic and decision processes.
  • Consulting Approach: Comfortable in an iterative environment, providing structured feedback to product and engineering teams. 
Preferred Qualifications  
  • Experience at large retail or independent mortgage lenders (e.g., Wells Fargo, Rocket Mortgage, Chase).
