<h3>AHL + Saaf AI — Mortgage Lending, Reimagined</h3><p style="min-height:1.5em">Saaf AI is building the future of mortgage lending by combining cutting-edge AI with proven lending operations. Saaf AI is part of American Heritage Lending, a top-10 private lender processing billions in loan volume, with 15+ years of growth. We are backed by some of the largest asset managers and funds and are growing fast.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We're not experimenting with AI. We're deploying it. From underwriting to document processing to borrower experience, all are shaped by AI. If you want to work somewhere that uses AI as a core building material — you're in the right place.</p><h3>The Role</h3><p style="min-height:1.5em">We're hiring a <strong>Forward-Deployed AI Engineer</strong> to design and ship AI-powered products and agents from end to end. This isn't an ML research role or a prompt-engineering sandbox. It's a hands-on builder role — you own the full arc from "here's a business problem" to "here's a working AI system in production."</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Mortgage lending is one of the last industries to be meaningfully transformed by AI. The problems are hard, the data is rich, and the stakes are real. You'll work directly on the things that matter most: automating underwriting decisions, building intelligent borrower-facing experiences, creating agents that navigate complex loan workflows, and using AI to compress tasks that currently take days into minutes.</p><h3>This role is right for you if:</h3><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">You've shipped AI-powered products or agents to production — not just prototypes</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">You think in systems: LLM calls, tool use, retrieval, evaluation, and feedback loops are design primitives to you</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">You move fast and take ownership — you'd rather build the thing than debate the spec</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">You want to be in a market where AI genuinely changes lives, not just optimizes click-through rates</p></li></ul><h3>What You'll Build</h3><h3>AI Agents &amp; Autonomous Workflows</h3><p style="min-height:1.5em">Mortgage lending is a process-heavy industry — condition management, document review, borrower communication, underwriting analysis. You'll design and ship agents that automate or accelerate these workflows end to end:</p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Build multi-step LLM agents that can navigate loan files, evaluate conditions, flag exceptions, and surface recommendations to underwriters</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Design agentic workflows with tool use, structured output, memory, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints — not one-shot prompts</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Integrate AI agents with internal systems, external data sources, and third-party APIs to close the loop between insight and action</p></li></ul><h3>AI-Powered Do
