Wednesday’s announcements indicated that an office has been opened in Pittsburgh.
During the next 12 months, the firm plans to recruit for “50 well-paying financial technology jobs” at the new facility.
“We decided we could add significantly to our best-in-class technical team by recruiting top engineering, product and data talent from the area’s technology and startup ecosystem, which includes CMU and Pitt,” LendingHome Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Matt Humphrey said in the statement. “We started by bringing on board a small team of entrepreneurs from the Pittsburgh mortgage industry, so we have a solid foundation already.”
