About Valon
Valon is pioneering an AI-native operating system tailored for regulated finance, with a focus on revolutionizing mortgage servicing. As a Series C company funded by a16z, we are committed to transforming industries that have been deemed too intricate to innovate.
Instead of relying on outdated legacy systems, we’ve established our own mortgage servicing business, currently managing over $110 billion in loans. This foundation enables us to comprehend the complexities vital for developing effective software in regulated environments.
The impact of our efforts is evident: we have elevated mortgage servicing from a 0% margin business to over 60% margins, all while significantly enhancing the customer experience. Major enterprise contracts are now being initiated across the sector.
Our unified platform, ValonOS, streamlines every process, making it structured and programmable, and is ideally positioned for the AI revolution. When all operations flow through a single system enriched with data, AI agents don’t just automate tasks; they enhance the overall operations continuously. Our ambition extends beyond mortgage servicing to transform regulated industries at large.
Engineering at Valon
Our engineering team is at the forefront of a modern software ecosystem aimed at disrupting the antiquated and heavily regulated finance sector, particularly in mortgage servicing. We’ve laid the groundwork for a scalable platform capable of managing billions in assets with precision and reliability. Our current focus is on scaling our infrastructure, enhancing the developer experience, and creating robust systems that facilitate rapid product iterations and sustainable business growth. We are a close-knit team of engineers from leading companies like Stripe, Jane Street, Meta, and Google, dedicated to achieving the best work of our careers together.
Our main office is located in New York City, with an additional office in San Francisco. We proudly support remote work arrangements.
Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to become an integral member of our Platform Engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for the foundational infrastructure that underpins all Valon products, including compute, databases, storage, and networking.

This position offers high impact and ownership, as we manage over 100 million background jobs each day, with expectations to scale more than 10x in the next two years.
