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

Recruiting at Valon isn’t support. It’s the engine.

Every hire we make compounds our ability to build the AI-native operating system that will run trillion-dollar regulated industries. That means the people who identify, engage, and coordinate exceptional talent aren’t peripheral to the mission — they help create the conditions for the mission to scale.

We’re looking for a Contract Recruiter focused on sourcing and university recruiting efforts across our technical teams. In this role, you’ll help build and maintain high-quality early-career and experienced-candidate pipelines, support university recruiting programs, coordinate candidate processes with speed and care, and ensure every touchpoint reflects the rigor and ambition of Valon.

This is a contract role for someone who is operationally excellent, highly organized, and energized by the details that make recruiting systems work: clean pipelines, thoughtful outreach, tight follow-up, well-run events, and a candidate experience that feels precise, human, and high-trust.

You’ll partner closely with recruiters, hiring managers, and cross-functional teams to help Valon identify and engage top talent through sourcing campaigns, career fairs, university events, candidate coordination, and recruiting operations.

This Role is NOT For You If...

You see sourcing as a volume game rather than a quality and precision game

You’re comfortable letting candidates sit in limbo or waiting for someone else to follow up

You struggle to manage many moving pieces across candidates, events, schools, and stakeholders

You need a fully built process to be effective — we’re still building ours

You view university recruiting as just event attendance instead of relationship-building, pipeline development, and thoughtful follow-through

You’re not detail-oriented enough to keep systems, schedules, and candidate communications clean

You’re uncomfortable using data, tools, or AI to improve speed, quality, and organization

What You’ll Do

Build and maintain high-quality candidate pipelines

Source technical talent across engineering, product, data, and early-career roles. You’ll identify strong prospects, conduct candidate research, draft personalized outreach, maintain organized pipelines, and ensure promising candidates are surfaced quickly to the recruiting team.

Support university recruiting programs

Help execute Valon’s university recruiting strategy across target schools and early-career channels. This may include preparing for career fairs, coordinating campus events, managing candidate follow-up, tracking student pipelines, and helping ensure every university touchpoint is polished, organized, and high-impact.

Coordinate career fairs and recruiting events

Own the details that make recruiting events successful: attendee tracking, candidate capture, resume review workflows, event materials, post-event follow-up, scheduling, and pipeline organization. You’ll help turn events into measurable recruiting outcomes, not one-off activities.

Deliver an exceptional candidate experience

Keep candidates moving with urgency and care. You’ll coordinate interviews, manage communications, help prepare candidates for each step, and ensure no one is left waiting without context. Every interaction should feel thoughtful, timely, and high-trust.

Partner closely with recruiters and hiring teams

Work with recruiters and hiring managers to understand role requirements, sourcing priorities, event goals, and candidate profiles. You’ll help ensure pipelines are aligned with what teams actually need and that recruiting ef
