Walk into Fannie Mae prepared.
Know what it looks for.

Fannie Mae is the largest source of mortgage financing in the United States, supporting nearly half of America's residential mortgage market through a $4.1 trillion guaranty book of business. Created by Congress in 1938 and operating under federal conservatorship since the 2008 financial crisis, Fannie Mae stands at a pivotal moment in 2026 as the Trump administration prepares a potential public offering, navigates major leadership and ethics-policy changes under FHFA Director Bill Pulte, and accelerates AI-driven transformation through partnerships like the Palantir Crime Detection Unit. Behavioral interviews at Fannie Mae focus on collaboration, problem-solving, and genuine alignment with the housing-finance mission — candidates who understand the company's unique public-purpose-meets-private-execution model and current transition stand out clearly.
