About the role

We're hiring a Founder Associate to work directly with Valon's Cofounder and President and executive team on the highest-leverage problems facing the company.
One day you're modeling the economics of a new client deployment.

Own critical cross-functional projects end-to-end - scoping, stakeholder alignment, execution, and delivery. These will span client deployments, internal operations, pricing, AI enablement, and whatever else matters most right now.
Build new functions from 0 → 1 - when Valon needs something that doesn't exist yet (a process, a team, a system), you'll be the person who figures out what good looks like and stands it up.
Use AI as a default tool - you regularly use Claude Code or similar agentic coding tools to automate your own workflows, analyze data, and move at a pace that would be impossible without AI fluency.
Generalist by nature - you're the person who picks up new domains fast, whether it's mortgage servicing economics, AI deployment strategy, or org design.

People who optimize for individual credit over team outcomes
we built and operate our own mortgage servicing business managing $110+ billion in loans.
This wasn't the end goal, it was how we deeply understood the complexity needed to build software that actually works in regulated industries.

0-8 years of experience - you might be coming from a top consulting firm (MBB), a high-growth startup, an early-stage CoS role, or a rotational program.
Strong written communicator - you can write a crisp one-pager, a persuasive Slack message, or a detailed process doc with equal fluency.
This is not a traditional strategy & ops role - it's a generalist seat for someone with uncommon judgment, high agency, and the ability to context-switch across wildly different problem types in a single week.

Competitive salary + meaningful equity (Series C stage)
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
Commuter benefits
12 weeks paid parental leave
Mortgage servicing is just the beginning of our vision to transform regulated industries and beyond.

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.
This role is designed for someone early in their career who wants to compress a decade of operating experience into a few years by working at the center of gravity of a fast-scaling company.

Valon is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
