Senior Mortgage Underwriter - Build With Us (New York)

Reporting to: Mike D’Ambrosio, EVP of Credit & Operations

Location: NYC (Preferred), Open to Remote

June Point Lending is making homeownership possible and more accessible for a creditworthy but underserved segment of the market: business owners, self-employed workers, and real estate investors. Being enterprising and independent shouldn’t mean getting shut out of the housing market - we’re here to fix that. 

We’re automating mortgage loan underwriting with the goal of instant, real-time decisions, resulting in wider access and affordability. This speed, certainty and service for our B2B partners allows them to serve more homebuyers, with the products they need, at market leading rates. 

As a Senior Underwriter at June Point Lending, you'll be a foundational member of our credit team, directly underwriting Non-QM loans while helping us build and refine our underwriting process and automation capabilities. You'll bring your deep technical expertise to evaluate complex credit scenarios for self-employed borrowers, real estate investors, and other non-traditional income profiles, while partnering with our technology team to shape how we use automation and AI to make faster, more consistent decisions. This is a hands-on role with strategic impact - perfect for an experienced underwriter hungry to build something from the ground up.

You'll be June Point's first dedicated underwriter, building and optimizing your own workflows. You will manually handle tasks and be a key thought partner with our tech team as we work to develop automations that further improve JPL's underwriting processes.
