That gave us a real regulated environment to prove our technology could replace the mainframe systems servicers have used for decades. Carrington acquired that servicer and adopted ValonOS as its core platform, allowing us to focus entirely on scaling our SaaS platform.\nValonOS is now on track to power 1 in 6 U.S. mortgages across major mortgage servicers like Newrez, Carrington, and ServiceMac. Every process on the platform is structured and programmable, enabling our AI agents to perform core servicing work, like handling payments, escrow, and homeowner questions, directly within the system's controls.\nWe recently raised a $150 million Series D at a $2.3 billion valuation by new investor Ribbit Capital, with continued support from existing backer a16z, amongst others.\nAbout the Role\nValon is rolling out its AI-powered platform to enterprise clients operating in a highly regulated, operationally complex industry. We are building a dedicated Product Operations function that ensures customers have a seamless, reliable, and intuitive experience with ValonOS during and after implementation.\nAs a Product Operations Senior Associate, you’ll sit at the intersection of Product, Engineering, and our customers-giving you end-to-end visibility into how the product is built, released, and adopted in the real world. You will be the eyes and ears of the Product organization, translating live customer usage into insights that meaningfully shape our roadmap, quality standards, and release strategy.\nThis is a high-impact, high-ownership role for someone who wants to work closely with product managers and engineers, influence product direction, and help build the foundation of a world-class customer-facing product organization. You’ll combine analytical problem-solving, product sense, and empathy for users to ensure that ValonOS delivers at scale.\nResponsibilities\nBe the Product Team’s Frontline Partner\nAct as the primary interface between customers and R&D, deeply understanding how users interact with ValonOS in production.\n\nTranslate real-world user behavior and feedback into structured insights that directly inform product requirements, prioritization discussions, and roadmap planning.\n\nIdentify patterns in issues, surfacing product gaps and opportunities early to Product Managers.\n\nTriage, Troubleshoot & Drive Product Quality\nInvestigate and resolve customer-reported issues-from workflow questions to bugs to SEV 1/2/3 incidents-in tight partnership with Engineering and FDA.\n\nValidate product functionality across product areas using data, SQL queries, logs, and internal tooling.\n\nMaintain high-quality issue definitions that improve product engineering’s ability to respond quickly and accurately.\n\nSupport Product Releases & Adoption\nPlay a key role in our release process: coordinating alpha testing, collecting usability insights, and ensuring readiness for broader rollout.\n\nCommunicate release changes to customers, support training on new features, and ensure smooth adoption.\n\nPartner with Product to refine release notes, customer-facing documentation, and help-center content.\n\nIdeal Background\n2-4+ years in product operations, product-adjacent roles, business operations, consulting, customer success, or a similar analytical environment.\n\nStrong analytical skills with the ability to break down ambiguous problems and uncover root causes.\n\nTechnical curiosity-you’re eager to learn SQL or work with data to understand product behavior.\n\nClear communicator who can translate between technical teams and end users with ease.\n\nHigh sense of ownership, reliability, and urgency in driving issues to full resolution.\n\nComfort partnering closely with product managers and engineers, and contributing to product thinking.\n\nBachelor’s degree required.\nNice to Have\nExperience supporting or implementing enterprise SaaS products.\n\nExposure to regulated or process-heavy industries (mortgage servicing, financial services, healthcare).\n\nFamiliarity with incident management, workflow tools, or customer support platforms.\n\nBenefits\nCompensation: competitive salary with a meaningful stake in the company via equity, and 401(k) plan. The base salary range reflects multiple levels. We assess level based on a combination of experience and interview performance.\n\nHealth & well-being: we’ll invest in your physical and mental well-being with comprehensive medical, dental, & vision benefits.\n\nFree Food: daily lunch, and dinner provided through Forkable for in-office team members.\n\nCommuter benefits: pre-tax deductions for public transit, rideshares, and parking to simplify your daily commute.\n\nGrow together: company wide orientation for you to successfully onboard and other learning & development opportunities including regular review cycles that feature 360-degree feedback.\n\nPlay together: quarterly budgets for team and company outings. Use it for team swag, cooking classes, or team dinners.\n\nGenerous time off: flexible paid time off with no annual limit, sick days, and 11 company holidays.\n\nBaby bonding time: 12 weeks of fully paid leave for both birthing and non-birthing parents, so you can spend uninterrupted time welcoming and caring for your newest family member.\n\nThroughout the interview process, please remember that emails will only be from valon.com email addresses.
