What is Loancrate? We started Loancrate to make home-buying simpler and less expensive for lenders and borrowers. Today, mortgage lenders are stuck running their companies on software products built 20 years ago. These products are slow, unstable, and don't lead to material improvements in efficiency. When using these systems, the average human cost to originate a loan is still over $11,000. Loancrate builds AI-native tooling to automate mortgage workflows. Our ultimate goal is fully automated origination, which has the potential to save lenders over $16B in operating expense per year. Since starting in 2020, our remote team has enabled our customers to power >$85 billion in new home loans. We care about collaboration, very open communication covering the good & the bad so that we learn from our decisions quickly, and ultimately having fun while we're building. You'll fit in well if you like diving deep quickly! The Opportunity Automating mortgage origination only works if the software actually works the way a lender needs it to — every screen, every workflow, every edge case. We're looking for a QA Engineer to make sure it does, before our customers ever see it. You'll be the person who knows our product inside and out from a lender's point of view. You'll click through real loan scenarios in our UIs, run workflows end-to-end the way a processor or underwriter would, and catch the bugs, regressions, data inconsistencies, and broken edge cases that only show up when someone who actually understands mortgages goes looking for them. The work is detailed and methodical in the way good QA work is. It's also unusually high-leverage: the bugs you catch don't reach customers, and the test cases you build become the regression backbone we trust on every release. This is a foundational role. You'll be the first dedicated QA person, embedded with Engineering and Product rather than buried in an ops org. As we scale, you'll have the opportunity to lead the QA function — hiring, training, and setting the bar for what "ready to ship" means at Loancrate. If you've spent years working in or alongside loan origination software and want to put that expertise toward building something rather than processing files one at a time, this is that opportunity. What You'll Do • Test our UIs and workflows end-to-end — running real loan scenarios through the product the way a processor, underwriter, or closer would, across loan types and document conditions. • Find the bugs before customers do — visual glitches, broken validations, workflow dead-ends, incorrect calculations, data that doesn't persist, integrations that quietly drop fields, and the long tail of edge cases that only break under real mortgage conditions. • Write clear, reproducible bug reports — with the exact steps, the loan scenario in play, expected vs. actual behavior, and screenshots or recordings — so engineers can fix the issue without a second round of questions. • Build and own the regression test suite — a curated set of manual test cases and lightweight automated scripts (Playwright / Cypress or similar) that cover our core flows and grow with the product. • Own release readiness — run pre-release verification on every meaningful change, sign off on what's ready to ship, and flag what isn't. • Partner directly with Engineering and Product — sitting in on design reviews, asking the "but what happens when…" questions early, and helping shape features so they're testable and correct by construction. • Define the playbook — QA SOPs, bug severity rubrics, release checklists, and quality metrics that future team members will follow. • Hire, train, and lead the QA team — within 12-18 months, you can be running the function and owning how Loancrate thinks about software quality. What Success Looks Like Within your first 90 days, you will: • Be testing across our core product surfaces and surfacing bug patterns the team didn't k
