Senior Software Engineer, Valon Mortgage

The company is aiming to disrupt and bring down the costs in a market that it sees as heavily monopolized, and which is largely devoid of customer-oriented innovation. Currently, mortgage servicing giant Black Knight controls over half of all residential loans in the US, the result of which has seen a 250% increase in servicing costs in the last decade.

Valon's growth so far has been remarkable. The company went from zero contracts in 2019 to $65 billion in mortgages in 2024, with a 400% year-on-year growth. Its remarkable growth attracted over $169 million in funding in 2024. On top of this boost, it has further diversified its capabilities to include servicing government-sponsored home loans from the Federal National Mortgage Association.
