WHO WE ARE...

Maxwell was founded in 2015 by homebuyers who were shocked by the complexity of the mortgage process for borrowers and lending teams alike. Today, our digital platform is used by hundreds of mortgage lenders across the U.S. to serve thousands of homebuyers, facilitating billions of dollars of mortgage volume each month. We work to make them, and all of their employees, the real heroes who enable homeowners to achieve the American Dream. And we’re just getting started. 

WHAT WE HOPE FOR YOU...

As the Product Manager, Borrower Speed, you will deliver solutions to simplify and expedite the mortgage process for homebuyers who are working with any of our hundreds of lenders. Your products will engage, educate and guide borrowers through what is possibly the biggest financial decision of their lives. We build products based on our three principles: creating a simple and delightful user experience, empowering people to do their work more efficiently, and building innovative, industry-changing products with our data.
