Head of Infrastructure
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 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. 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 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. Mortgage servicing is just the beginning of our vision to transform regulated industries and beyond.
Our engineering team powers a modern software ecosystem designed to disrupt one of the most outdated and heavily regulated industries in finance: mortgage servicing. We have built the foundation of a scalable platform capable of managing billions in assets with precision and reliability. Now we are focused on scaling infrastructure, improving developer experience, and building high‑leverage systems that support rapid product iteration and long‑term business growth. We are a tight‑knit, high‑agency group of engineers from Stripe, Jane Street, Meta, and Google, and we aim to do the best work of our lives—together. Our headquarters are in New York City, with a satellite San Francisco office that opened last year. We also fully support remote work.
