    • Exceptional attention to detail.
    • Experience with esoteric RMBS sectors (e.g. Reverse Mortgage, MSR, HEI contracts, Ginnie Mae EBO, and/or RTL) strongly preferred.
    • Programming skills (e.g. VBA, Python, R and/or SQL) are a plus.
    • Familiarity with residential mortgage datasets/tools (e.g., CoreLogic, Fannie/Freddie Single Family Data, BlackKnight, eMBS) are a plus.
    • Familiarity with Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT for research, data insights, and general productivity is a plus.
