Reliability:

Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment where data uptime is critical to daily operations.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Develop and maintain automated data pipelines that ingest daily interest rate sheets and market data. Build "pricing-ready" datasets that integrate internal loan data with external market trends. Optimize the performance of our Pricing Engine's data retrieval to ensure instant quote generation for Loan Officers.
