• Proven experience working on lending platforms (origination, servicing, or credit systems)
• Strong background in modern architecture (APIs, microservices, cloud environments)
• Experience leading engineering teams and driving delivery at scale
• Strong understanding of financial systems, credit, or lending workflows
• Ability to operate as a player-coach in a fast-paced environment
• Experience with vendor platforms or tools such as LoanPro, nCino, or similar is a plus
