Cybercrime is rising, reaching record highs in 2024. According to the FBI's IC3 report total losses exceeded $16 billion. With investment fraud and BEC scams at the forefront, the message is clear: the real estate sector remains a lucrative target for cybercriminals. At CertifID, we take this threat seriously and provide a secure platform that verifies the identities of parties involved in transactions, authenticates wire transfer instructions, and detects potential fraud attempts. Our technology is designed to mitigate risks and ensure that every transaction is conducted with confidence and peace of mind.
We know we couldn’t take on this challenge without our incredible team. We have been recognized as one of the Best Startups to Work for in Austin, made the Inc. 5000 list, and won Best Culture by Purpose Jobs two years in a row. We are guided by our core values and our vision of a world without wire fraud. We offer a dynamic work environment where you can contribute to meaningful impact and be part of a team dedicated to enhancing security and fighting fraud.
About the Role (Contract to Hire)
We’re hiring a contract Operations Specialist to support a fast-growing real estate technology product that helps title and escrow teams securely obtain mortgage payoff amounts—one of the most critical and time-sensitive steps in closing a real estate transaction.
This role focuses on managing payoff requests end-to-end: tracking orders, following up with mortgage companies to obtain payoff information, and keeping customers informed throughout. You’ll work closely with a small, hands-on team and play a meaningful role in how the product and its underlying processes evolve as volume scales.
About the Product & Team
You’ll be working on an AI-driven real estate product designed to help prevent wire fraud, an area where accuracy, speed, and trust are paramount. The product is growing quickly, and the team is small and highly collaborative.
Because of that, this role goes beyond task execution—you’ll have visibility into how an AI-powered workflow product operates in production, and have an opportunity to provide feedback that directly shapes internal processes and product improvements as the platform scales.
Responsibilities
What We’re Looking For
- Strong attention to detail and comfort managing high-volume, time-sensitive work
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to triage independently and prioritize without constant oversight
- Calm, persistent, and professional when following up with external counterparties
- Interest in improving processes, not just executing them
Nice to Have (Not Required)
- Experience in real estate, mortgage, title, escrow, or financial operations
- Experience in operations, customer support, or back-office roles at a tech-enabled company
Role Requirements
- Must be U.S.-based
- Reliable internet and the ability to work standard U.S. business hours
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, startup environment
