About the Company

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. 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 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. Mortgage servicing is just the beginning of our vision to transform regulated industries and beyond.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Developer Productivity Engineer to design, build and support the developer workflows and tooling for Valon Engineers.

We are embracing AI powered development tools to increase developer productivity.

You will anticipate and reduce scaling issue as we quickly grow our already large python monorepo.

You will use your product while frequently conversing directly with users to remove friction from the development cycle.

Remote applicants welcome.

Ideal Background
  • Experience using AI as part of the development cycle.

  • Experience increasing inner and outer loop development efficiency.

  • Experience with python.

  • Experience writing GitHub Actions and monitoring builds and code.

  • Working knowledge of Cloud systems, preferably GCP.

  • Knowledge of Frontend tools and builds including node, nextjs and react.

  • 4+ years experience in similar role.

Throughout the interview process, please remember that emails will only be from valon.com email addresses. We will never ask for any personally identifiable information during the interview process itself. Please reach out to [email protected] if you have any requests to verify the authenticity of an outreach.

Valon is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, or any other protected characteristic as outlined by federal, state, or local laws.
