Team: AngelAi | Sun West Mortgage Company About AngelAi & Sun West

You're not just joining a mortgage company—you're joining AngelAi, the high‑growth fintech engine of a trusted leader in finance since 1980.

We build emotionally intelligent AI systems, like our patented AngelAi and TRU Approvals® platforms, that are fundamentally transforming financial services.

• Engineer: Build, stress‑test, and deploy forward‑looking models to manage risk and predict financial outcomes.
• Optimize: Actively control how capital, risk, and operational costs move through the business.

• Deploy Models: Engineer and continuously maintain high‑fidelity financial models, forecasts, and projections.
• Hunt for Efficiency: Identify systemic inefficiencies, risks, and game‑changing optimization opportunities across financial operations.
• Decipher & Translate: Analyze complex financial statements, contracts, and legal documents to translate regulation into measurable improvements and compliance logic.
• Advise Leadership: Partner directly with AI, Engineering, and Executive teams to surface deep insights, predictive trends, and critical early warning indicators.
• Proactively Drive Change: Raise red flags and propose actionable optimization strategies that materially impact the bottom line.

• A Financial Engineering Mindset—you see finance as a system to be optimized and performance‑tuned.
• High intellectual curiosity and genuine passion for understanding how financial systems actually operate.
• Comfort owning ambiguity and navigating complex, high‑stakes financial structures.
