Fannie Mae careers guide: Reviewed August 9, 2026 against Fannie Mae’s official careers information. This is an independent evergreen guide, not a live job advertisement. Verify every opening, location, salary and work arrangement on the employer’s site.
Fannie Mae careers span software engineering, cloud infrastructure, data and analytics, cybersecurity, product management, finance, risk, audit, housing and business operations. Older WorkinVirtual pages covered individual vacancies that have since expired. This hub consolidates overlapping technology pages while keeping distinct finance, risk, marketing and multifamily career paths separate.
Where to find current Fannie Mae jobs
Use the official Fannie Mae job search. Fannie Mae states that its open positions are based in the United States. Search by team, skill and location, then read the complete requisition before tailoring your application.
The official hiring overview says candidates apply online, may receive an initial video interview and, for most roles that move forward, can expect a total of three or four virtual interviews with members of the hiring team. The exact process can vary by position.
Are Fannie Mae jobs remote?
Do not treat every technology job as fully remote. Fannie Mae career material and requisitions can describe office-based, flexible or hybrid arrangements, while some employee stories discuss remote collaboration. The active posting controls. Check the named work location, office cadence, state eligibility, travel and whether proximity to Reston, Washington, D.C., or Plano is required.
Fannie Mae technology career paths
| Career area | Work you may encounter | Evidence to show |
|---|---|---|
| Software engineering | APIs, microservices, enterprise applications and production support | Java or Python, testing, reliability and shipped outcomes |
| Cloud and platforms | AWS architecture, automation, observability and infrastructure services | Cloud delivery, CI/CD, security, cost and incident results |
| Data and AI | Data platforms, analytics, modeling and AI-enabled workflows | SQL, pipelines, governance, measurement and business impact |
| Cybersecurity and technology risk | Identity, controls, audit, resilience and secure engineering | Risk reduction, control testing, remediation and communication |
| Technology leadership | Strategy, delivery, team development and operational accountability | Scope, budgets, reliability, stakeholder alignment and coaching |
Fannie Mae’s official technology stories describe work involving Amazon Web Services, cloud architecture, software development, data modernization and generative AI. Applicants should still match their resume to the skills in the current requisition rather than assuming every team uses the same stack.
Historical technology roles consolidated into this guide
WorkinVirtual previously published separate pages for a Cloud Infrastructure Technology Engineering Associate, Lead AWS Engineer, Lead Full Stack Software Engineer, Software Engineering Manager and Director of Operations Engineering. Those vacancies and salary ranges were time-specific and should not be treated as current offers. They remain useful as examples of recurring skill families:
- Cloud architecture, infrastructure automation and AWS services.
- Java, Python, APIs, microservices and full-stack delivery.
- DevOps, CI/CD, observability, reliability and incident management.
- Security, identity, controls and regulated financial systems.
- Engineering leadership, platform strategy and team development.
How to interpret salary information
Historical Fannie Mae technology postings displayed different ranges based on role level and approved location. Use only the range on an active requisition. Compare base pay, incentive eligibility, retirement contributions, health coverage, paid leave, work location and required commuting. The top of an expired range is not an expected offer.
Build a stronger Fannie Mae application
- Verify the requisition. Confirm that it remains open on the official careers site.

Recruitment-fraud safeguards
Fannie Mae says official email addresses end in @fanniemae.com, it does not interview through online chats or instant messaging, and it will not request a financial commitment during recruiting. Apply through the official careers site and use WorkinVirtual’s Remote Job Scam Checker when outreach appears suspicious.
