About The Position

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. You’ll be a high-volume, high-judgment sourcer responsible for building top-of-funnel pipelines across technical, operational, and leadership roles. Your job is not just to find candidates, but to consistently surface well-calibrated talent that moves through the process. Sourcing is not a support function here. It’s a core input to recruiting quality. This role is for someone who cares deeply about the craft of sourcing and wants to get better at it through feedback, data, and iteration. You’ll have visibility into how your candidates perform end-to-end, and you’ll be expected to use that data to get sharper over time.
