Blend is looking for an experienced engineering manager to lead two critical parts of the mortgage process - Followups and Disclosures. This team is responsible for much of the post submit application process, which is a key part of making a decision on a loan. ‘Followups’ is a system that enables lenders to request additional information for an application from a borrower. ‘Disclosures’ is a critical and compliance heavy component for viewing and signing key documents that explain the details of the mortgage to the Borrower.
