About Valon
Valon is pioneering the AI-native operating system tailored for regulated finance, starting with mortgage servicing. We are a Series C company, supported by a16z, revolutionizing industries that have long been deemed too complex for innovation. Instead of layering solutions on antiquated systems, we created and operate a mortgage servicing business managing over $110 billion in loans, giving us an intimate understanding of the intricacies necessary to develop effective software for regulated sectors.
Our achievements are impressive; we have transformed mortgage servicing from a business with 0% margins to one that boasts margins exceeding 60%, all while significantly enhancing customer experiences. Major enterprise contracts are now being deployed across the industry.
ValonOS, our unified platform, standardizes and automates every process, making it ideally suited for the AI era. With rich data flowing through a single system, AI agents not only automate tasks but also continually enhance overall operations. Mortgage servicing is just the starting point of our vision to revolutionize regulated industries and beyond.
Engineering at Valon
Our engineering team drives a modern software ecosystem aimed at disrupting one of the most outdated and heavily regulated sectors in finance: mortgage servicing. We have laid the groundwork for a scalable platform capable of managing billions in assets with precision and reliability. Our current focus is on scaling infrastructure, improving developer experiences, and building high-leverage systems that facilitate rapid product iterations and long-term growth. We are a close-knit, high-agency group of engineers from companies like Stripe, Jane Street, Meta, and Google, all striving to accomplish the best work of our careers—together.
While our headquarters are located in New York City, we are also opening a new office in San Francisco this year and fully support remote work.
About the Role
We are seeking an Engineering Manager to spearhead our Cloud Infrastructure initiatives within the Platform team. In this role, you will lead and expand a high-impact team responsible for the foundational infrastructure that powers all of Valon’s products.

We currently manage over 100 million background jobs daily and anticipate scaling by over 10x within the next two years. Upcoming projects include:
- Implementing new data stores to support our growth: Vitess, Clickhouse, Redis.
- Enhancing our batch processing control capabilities.
