About the Role

Mortgage Loan Processing Subject Matter Expert  Location: Bangalore, India (Offshore)  Employment Type: Full-Time  About SAI Group  SAI Group is a private investment firm that has committed $1 billion to incubate and scale revolutionary AI-powered enterprise software application companies. Our portfolio, a testament to our success, comprises rapidly growing AI companies that collectively cater to over 2,000+ major global customers, approaching $600 million in annual revenue, and employing a global workforce of over 4,000 individuals.  SAI Group invests in new ventures based on breakthrough AI-based products that have the potential to disrupt existing enterprise software markets. SAI Group’s latest investment, JazzX, is a pioneering technology company which is building a platform that will not only shape the future of enterprise AI applications but also offer practical solutions to real-world challenges.  Role Overview  As JazzX’s Mortgage Loan Processing SME, you will be the single-domain authority for U.S. residential mortgage loan processing across product, engineering, and operations. You will own how processing workflows — file setup, document collection and review, third-party service ordering, condition clearing, and submission to underwriting and closing — are defined, explained, and operationalized into the JazzX Mortgage Application.  This is a hands-on position based in our Bangalore office, working closely with the product and engineering teams. You will process representative loan files, document every step, decision, and exception in detail, and translate that operational knowledge into product requirements, decision rules, test cases, and validation programs for AI-assisted processing.  JazzX is building AI products that automate and assist U.S. residential mortgage origination and fulfillment. Our product and engineering teams bring deep AI and software expertise, but they do not come from the mortgage industry. This role exists to close that gap: you will embed with the product team as a hands-on domain expert, bringing real operational mortgage experience into product design and product build at a very detailed level — from workflow maps and edge cases down to field-level definitions, decision rules, and acceptance criteria.  What You’ll Do  Hands-On Processing & Workflow Documentation  <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Process representative U.S. residential mortgage files (conventional, FHA, VA, purchase and refinance) end-to-end: file intake and setup, initial document review, ordering and tracking third-party services (credit, title, appraisal, VOE/VOI/VOM, flood, MI), and preparing complete files for underwriting submission. </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">Document, at field level, how processors review income, asset, credit, and collateral documents — what they check, what triggers a follow-up, what constitutes a complete and accurate file, and how exceptions are handled. </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1">Capture common document defects, missing-item patterns, and rework loops that drive cycle time, so the product can be designed to detect and prevent them. </li> </ul> Product Design Partnership  <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="4" data-aria-level="1">Embed with the product team as the voice of the processor persona;
