Credit Analyst

About the role Behind many of life’s most important transactions — buying a house, applying for a mortgage, getting a small business loan, or refinancing a credit card — is a network of credit relationships. Setpoint provides critical operational infrastructure for relationships between the world’s largest banks, credit funds and capital markets counterparties. We’re building trust in this system of credit. We are looking for a Credit Analyst to join our team! In this role, you will review residential mortgage loans to ensure compliance with agency, originator and/or investor guidelines, internal policies, Rating Agency requirements and regulatory requirements. About this engagement This is a contract-to-hire role. You'll begin as an independent contractor (1099) at $40/hour, paid biweekly against hours you submit. Contract-to-hire is standard practice in third-party review, and we've structured this the way the industry does. Our intent is to convert this position to full-time employment as client volume grows. Based on current deal flow we anticipate that within six months, though timing depends on volume and conversion isn't guaranteed. Performance during the contract period is the path to a full-time offer, and we'll be straightforward with you about where things stand throughout.

A self-starter — you work independently, manage your own priorities, and don't need a lot of direction to get things done.

A compliance authority — you have deep knowledge of agency, investor, and regulatory guidelines and can apply them confidently. A clear communicator — you can articulate findings and discrepancies in writing and in conversation without ambiguity. A team player — you adapt easily to changing guidelines and collaborate well across functions.
