AI Enablement Engineer

About the Company

Valon is building the AI-native operating system for regulated finance starting with mortgage servicing.

Were 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 wasnt 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. Weve 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 dont 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

Were hiring an AI Deployment Engineer to join a small high-autonomy team building the internal tools and AI-powered systems that make Valons client deployments successful.

This is not a traditional software engineering role. Youll operate at the intersection of product engineering and client delivery building whatever is needed to make deployments run smoothly. One week youre standing up a project tracking dashboard; the next youre integrating AI agents into client workflows; the week after youre building admin tooling so deployment leads can manage teams and forecasts.

To give you a sense of pace and scope: building a full deployment management platform kanban boards Gantt views milestone tracking AI-powered inbox scanning team dashboards in six weeks is the kind of output we expect from this role.

What Youll Do

• Build deployment tooling end-to-end Design build and ship internal applications that help Valon manage complex client deployments. Youll own the full stack from data layer to UI.

• Ship AI-powered features Build AI agent workflows copilot experiences and automation tools that make deployment teams more effective. Think: intelligent inbox scanning cross-reference extraction AI-assisted planning.

• Move fast with AI-assisted development Use coding agents (Claude Code Codex) as pair programmers to maintain high velocity. We expect you to ship meaningful features daily not weekly.

• Work across the stack React TypeScript Tailwind CSS API integrations. You dont need to know all of these coming in but you need to learn fast and build confidently across layers.

• Operate with high autonomy Youll have broad ownership over what you build and how. No one will hand you detailed specs youll identify problems design solutions and ship them.

Who You Are

• 15 years of engineering experience with demonstrated ability to ship complete products (not just features within a larger codebase)

• Full-stack web development chops strong in React/TypeScript; comfortable building APIs managing data layers and crafting polished UIs

• AI-fluent you actively use coding agents in your development workflow and have built AI-powered features (agent workflows RAG systems copilot UX or similar)

• Extremely high velocity youre the person who builds a working prototype while others are still writing the design doc

• Comfortable with ambiguity you thrive when given a problem not a solution and can turn vague requirements into shipped software

• Strong product instincts you build things people actually want to use with attention to UX details like drag-and-drop inline editing and responsive layouts

Nice to Have

• Experience at early-stage startups or as a technical founder

• Forward-deployed engineering background (Palantir Anduril Scale AI or similar)

• Familiarity with project management / deployment tracking domains

• Experience building on Airtable Notion or similar low-code backends

• Contributions to AI tooling or developer tools

What Wont Work

• Engineers who need detailed specs and defined scope before they can start building

• Candidates who are strong backend but uncomfortable building polished frontends

• People who talk about AI but havent built with it

• Anyone uncomfortable working solo with high ownership and minimal oversight

Benefits

• Competitive salary equity (Series C stage)

• Comprehensive health dental and vision insurance

• Commuter benefits

• Flexible PTO
