Valon is the leading AI platform for mortgage servicing, building the AI-native operating system for regulated finance.
Before providing the system of record that powers the entire industry, we built and ran our own mortgage servicer on it. That gave us a real regulated environment to prove our technology could replace the mainframe systems servicers have used for decades. Carrington acquired that servicer and adopted ValonOS as its core platform, allowing us to focus entirely on scaling our SaaS platform.
ValonOS is now on track to power 1 in 6 U.S. mortgages across major mortgage servicers like Newrez, Carrington, and ServiceMac. Every process on the platform is structured and programmable, enabling our AI agents to perform core servicing work, like handling payments, escrow, and homeowner questions, directly within the system's controls.
We recently raised a $150 million Series D at a $2.3 billion valuation by new investor Ribbit Capital, with continued support from existing backer a16z, amongst others.
Valon is rolling out its AI-powered platform to enterprise clients operating in a highly regulated, operationally complex industry. We are building a dedicated Product Operations function that ensures customers have a seamless, reliable, and intuitive experience with ValonOS during and after implementation.
As a Product Operations Lead, you will operate as a horizontal force across Product, Engineering, and Customer teams. Your role is to design and own the mechanisms, frameworks, and feedback loops that turn real-world usage into durable product insight. Rather than focusing on a single product area, you’ll work across the breadth of ValonOS, identifying cross-cutting patterns and shaping how the company operates, builds, and ships product.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, thinks in systems rather than tickets, and wants to influence product direction through leverage instead of org charts. You’ll be trusted to independently identify the highest-impact problems, define structure where none exists, and drive improvements that raise the bar for product quality, reliability, and customer experience across Valon.

Strong analytical skills with the ability to break down ambiguous problems and uncover root causes.
Technical curiosity—you’re eager to learn SQL or work with data to understand product behavior.

High sense of ownership, reliability, and urgency in driving issues to full resolution.
Comfort partnering closely with product managers and engineers, and contributing to product thinking.
