About the Company
- Valon is building the AI-native operating system for regulated finance, starting with mortgage servicing.
- We're a Series C company backed by a16z, transforming industries that others have written off as too complex to innovate.
- Rather than build on top of broken legacy systems, we took a different approach: we built and operate our own mortgage servicing business managing $110+ billion in loans.
- The results speak for themselves. We've transformed mortgage servicing from a 0% margin business into 60%+ margins while dramatically improving customer experience.
- Major enterprise contracts are now deploying across the industry.
- ValonOS is our unified platform that makes every process structured and programmable and it is perfectly positioned for the AI era.
- When everything flows through one system with rich data, AI agents don't just automate tasks, they continuously improve entire operations.
- Mortgage servicing is just the beginning of our vision to transform regulated industries and beyond.
- Our engineering team is here to power the software ecosystem to disrupt one of the most outdated and regulated spaces in the financial sector - the mortgage industry.
- We’ve built out the foundation of a modern mortgage servicing platform that can accurately handle billions of dollars at scale, but we’re just getting started.
- At Valon, we want you to do the best work of your life.
- You'll be surrounded by a tight-knit community of exceptional people from places like Stripe, Jane Street, Meta, and Google who care deeply about their work and each other.
- Our problem space is complex, but you’ll get a lot of autonomy so that you can learn quickly, execute effectively, and deliver the highest level of business impact.
- Our tech stack is built on Python, React, Docker, Kubernetes, and Google Cloud Platform.
- Our headquarters are in New York City, and this year, we’re excited to open a new office in San Francisco.
- Plus, we fully support remote work!
