About the role

Opendoor is building a new mortgage lending operation and needs a licensed Mortgage Loan Originator based in Missouri to staff our in-state licensed location. Missouri requires an in-state presence for our mortgage operations, and you will help Opendoor meet that regulatory requirement.

This is not a traditional high-volume origination role. Our mortgage product is technology-first and self-service by design. Volume will be low initially, so we're looking for someone who can wear multiple hats and contribute beyond loan origination. This is a salaried position with equity, not commission-based.

What you'll do

•
Staff Opendoor Home Loans in-state Missouri licensed location as a licensed Mortgage Loan Originator
•
Originate loans, take applications, and offer/negotiate loan terms in full compliance with Missouri and federal law
•
Guide borrowers through a technology-driven mortgage process when human support is needed
•
Contribute to broader mortgage operations beyond origination, including compliance support, process improvement, and quality assurance
•
Manage an active loan pipeline in a technology-enabled, remote-friendly origination environment
•
Maintain active Missouri MLO license and fulfill all continuing education requirements

What You'll Need

•
Active Missouri MLO license in good standing (NMLS); must have completed all required NMLS pre-licensure education (20 hours national + MO state-specific hours) and passed the NMLS SAFE Mortgage Loan Originator Test
•
Must be based in Missouri to staff Opendoor Home Loans in-state licensed location
•
Minimum 2+ years of residential mortgage origination experience preferred;
•
State-level licensing (not federal/bank-only licensing); experience at a non-bank lender preferred
•
Clean credit and employment history; must satisfy NMLS character and fitness requirements and any state-specific background check requirements
•
Comfort with technology and willingness to work in a non-traditional, AI-first mortgage environment

Bonus Points

•
Experience at a tech-forward mortgage company or fintech lender
•
Multi-disciplinary background (compliance, marketing, operations) in addition to origination
•
Background as a loan officer assistant, loan processor, or compliance professional with an active MLO license
•
Experience working in a startup or early-stage lending environment
