Valon

<div>
 
 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
 
 
 
 You will be the third member of Valon&rsquo;s technology legal team and will help build the legal foundation for the AI-native operating system for regulated finance. This is not a traditional in-house support role. You&rsquo;ll operate as a true partner to product, engineering, compliance, and leadership as we scale a system of record in one of the most complex and tightly regulated industries in the world.
 
 
 This is a high-ownership generalist role. You&rsquo;ll manage and prioritize a large volume of matters, shift between fast execution and meticulous precision, and develop judgment on how to balance both in environments where correctness is non-negotiable. We&rsquo;re looking for a junior attorney from a top law firm who wants to do
 
 real
 
 legal and operational work years earlier than Big Law typically allows.
 
 
 You will move between structured, detail-heavy workflows and open-ended, first-principles problems. Your work will span commercial negotiations, product and AI-related regulatory analysis, corporate governance, and cross-functional legal strategy. The surface area is unusually broad for this stage in a legal career&mdash;and intentionally so. In a company defined by complexity, your ability to learn quickly, synthesize ambiguity, and build durable systems will matter more than years of experience.
 
 
 If you&rsquo;re motivated by responsibility, energized by difficult problems, and excited to help architect the legal infrastructure of a high-velocity technology company, you&rsquo;ll thrive here.
