About Valon
Valon is pioneering an AI-native operating system designed specifically for the regulated finance sector, beginning with mortgage servicing. As a Series C startup supported by a16z, we are dedicated to revolutionizing industries that have long been considered too intricate for innovation.
Rather than relying on outdated legacy systems, we have chosen a different path: we've developed and are running our own mortgage servicing business, overseeing over $110 billion in loans. This has provided us with invaluable insights into the complexities required to create effective software for regulated industries.
The results are impressive. We have redefined mortgage servicing from a 0% margin business to achieving margins exceeding 60%, all while significantly enhancing customer satisfaction. Major enterprise contracts are being implemented across the sector.
ValonOS, our integrated platform, allows for structured and programmable processes, positioning us perfectly for the AI revolution. By centralizing operations through a single system enriched with data, our AI agents not only automate tasks but also continuously enhance overall operations. Mortgage servicing is just the first step in our mission to transform regulated industries and beyond.
Engineering at Valon
The engineering team at Valon is committed to powering the software ecosystem to disrupt one of the most antiquated and heavily regulated areas in the financial industry: mortgage servicing. We have established the foundation of a state-of-the-art mortgage servicing platform capable of efficiently managing billions of dollars at scale, but this is merely the beginning. At Valon, we aim for you to do the best work of your life, surrounded by a close-knit community of exceptional professionals from renowned companies like Stripe, Jane Street, Meta, and Google, who are deeply passionate about their work and one another.
While the challenges we face are complex, we provide ample autonomy for you to learn quickly, act decisively, and make a substantial business impact. Our technology stack includes Python, React, Docker, Kubernetes, and Google Cloud Platform.
We are headquartered in New York City and are thrilled to be opening a new office in San Francisco this year. Additionally, we fully support remote work!
