Mortgage Operations - Senior Loan Closer/Funder

About Wealthfront Mortgage Operations (MOps)

Wealthfront MOps is built around efficiency, critical problem-solving, and modernizing the lending experience. Our goal is a seamless, tech-enabled mortgage process. Our primary tool is automation.

• We automate mortgage origination. We partner with engineers and product leaders to build systems that eliminate manual toil and deliver a self-service mortgage experience. The result: rates significantly below the national average, saving clients thousands over the life of their loans.

• We're systems builders, not process followers. Team members execute high-quality mortgage processes while actively identifying opportunities to improve automation — better logic, better design, less toil.

• We hire critical thinkers. We want people who don't just want better tools — they think carefully about how every tool should work. Every team member understands the "why" behind each step.

• We operate as one integrated unit. We work as a single team with end-to-end fluency across the origination lifecycle. No traditional silos. This cross-functional depth is what lets us move faster, catch problems earlier, and evolve quickly.

• Our interview process is intended to be insightful for you and us. We're charting a unique path in home lending, so mutual fit is a top priority. After a conversation with our recruiting team, you will complete a 15–20 minute take-home assignment. From there, you'll meet our mortgage operations leads before a cross-functional final round.

If this sounds like the right fit, we'd love to hear from you.

We started with the ambition to transform the investment advisory industry when we pioneered automated investing in 2011. By automating strategies typically reserved for the wealthy, we unlocked access to high quality investment advice for a digitally-native generation that was underserved by traditional institutions. Since then, we've expanded to a full suite of products designed to help our clients save, spend, invest, and borrow for all of their goals, including: 

•A Cash Account that, through our program banks, offers one of the highest annual percentage yields on uninvested cash in the industry, while providing instant and secure access to your money with no account fees and a full suite of checking features.

• Multiple automated investing portfolios managed for you and tailored for long-term wealth building across various financial needs, including general investing, retirement, family wealth management, and more. Our taxable investing accounts are designed to unlock tax savings through sophisticated strategies like fixed income, tax-loss harvesting, and direct indexing—which we offer at industry-leading low costs and accessible minimums.

• A zero-commission Brokerage Account with 8000+ stocks and ETFs that’s designed to give DIY investors an incredibly easy way to get started investing. Plus, with our Cash Account, they can earn a high yield (from program banks) until the minute they’re ready to invest.  

• A digital-first mortgage experience designed to reduce costs, remove unnecessary friction, and aim to offer rates consistently below the national average.

Our award-winning products have attracted over 1.5 million funded clients who trust us with more than $100 billion of their hard earned savings on our platform—and we're far from done. If you’re inspired to help us reshape the financial industry as we create our next chapter, let’s talk!
