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.

Information Technology at Valon

The Valon IT team is small, scrappy, and built on trust. Everyone takes full ownership of their work and isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty to solve problems fast. You’ll be expected to take initiative and work independently, but you’ll never be on your own - we’ve got each other’s backs. It’s an ideal environment to dive into a wide range of technologies, make a big impact, and grow quickly in a fast-paced startup. Above all, we take pride in delivering an exceptional customer experience for every Valon employee.

  • Respond promptly to helpdesk tickets, escalating issues when appropriate.

  • Document common procedures, troubleshooting steps, and IT workflows.

  • Work closely with the facilities team to enhance the productivity of the NYC office.

  • Support IT projects and initiatives led by senior team members, including improvements to security, productivity, and reliability.

Ideal Background

  • 1–3+ years of experience in IT support, helpdesk, or a related technical role.

  • Familiarity with computer and network basics, Google Workspace, identity and access tools, and common business software.

  • Strong customer service orientation and a positive, problem-solving attitude.

  • Comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment and eager to take on varied tasks.

  • Clear written and verbal communication skills.

  • Strong attention to detail and ability to prioritize effectively.

  • Demonstrated ability and motivation to learn new tools and technologies.
