About the Company

Valon is transforming both mortgage servicing and consumer direct lending with a technology-first approach. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and managing over $130 billion in loans, we've built our platforms from the ground up—not on outdated legacy systems—so homeowners, lenders, and investors experience greater transparency, efficiency, and care. By unifying processes into a modern, AI-native operating system, we're leading the way in automation, compliance, and continuous improvement across our servicing and lending businesses.

Our mission is to empower every homeowner by making the mortgage experience simple, secure, and financially empowering.

We're not only reshaping what servicing and lending look like today—we're creating opportunities for talented people to help drive the future of the industry.

As we continue to grow, Valon is expanding its footprint across multiple states, opening the door to exciting new roles and career paths. Joining Valon means becoming part of a fast-scaling company where innovation, collaboration, and customer impact go hand in hand. Mortgage is just the beginning—we're building the future of regulated finance, and we want you to be part of it.
