Contract Technical Recruiter (Sourcing + University)

About the Company

Valon is building the AI-native operating system for regulated finance starting with mortgage servicing.

Were 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. This wasnt the end goal it was how we deeply understood the complexity needed to build software that actually works in regulated industries.

The results speak for themselves. Weve 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 dont just automate tasks they continuously improve entire operations. Mortgage servicing is just the beginning of our vision to transform regulated industries and beyond.
