A Better opportunity: *Work From Home Opportunities*

Better is looking for a Mortgage Loan Underwriter to join our growing team!

Our underwriters work closely with all members of the production team throughout the process to bring loans to closing, without having to speak directly to the borrower.  We are looking for Underwriters who think outside of the box. When looking at a file we want to make guidelines fit the borrower, not the borrowers fit the guidelines.

The Better mission is rooted in values that drive us.

  • We do whats in the best interest of the consumer, not ourselves
  • We have growth mindsets, not fixed ones
  • We believe that success lies in execution, not credentials
  • We act like owners, not just employees
  • We work to find answers on our own, not wait for them to be given to us 
  • We optimize for mission, not ego

Our mission speaks for itselfwe continue to outpace the industry at every turn. Weve recently joined forces in partnership with Ally Bank, and our backers have helped build some of the most transformative tech and finance companies in history.
