Senior Product Manager, Data
role at
Valon .
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 built and operate our own mortgage servicing business managing $110+ billion in loans.
This experience underpins our ability to create software that works in regulated industries. The results speak for themselves – we’ve turned a 0%‑margin business into 60%+ margins while dramatically improving customer experience. Major enterprise contracts are now deploying across the industry.
ValonOS is a unified platform that makes every process structured and programmable, positioning us for the AI era. When everything flows through one system with rich data, AI agents not only automate tasks but also continuously improve entire operations. Mortgage servicing is just the beginning of our vision to transform regulated industries and beyond.
About The Team You’ll join the core Platform & Infrastructure product org. This team builds foundational systems and services that serve as the backbone for features across our entire product suite. Though many infrastructure teams operate behind the scenes, ours sits at an intersection: we build systems that internal vertical teams depend on, and deliver features that directly touch end users (e.g., platforms, self‑service tools, dashboards). You’ll balance deep technical rigor with customer empathy. We operate in a high‑growth, high‑authenticity engineering culture and partner with senior engineers, architects, and cross‑functional leads.
Responsibilities
Define and own the roadmap for one or more core infrastructure domains (e.g., data platform, reporting platform, APIs).
Deeply engage with internal stakeholders (engineering leads, vertical PMs, operations) and customers to drive discovery and specification.
Drive initiatives end‑to‑end: from ideation, discovery, scoping, to launch, adoption, and iteration.
Deep ability to map processes and systems even in high‑ambiguity contexts – e.g., take a domain with many moving pieces and build a reliable abstraction.
Write clear, structured product specs and user stories that are easy to understand, even for someone without domain knowledge.
Partner closely with engineering leadership and architects to make trade‑offs on design, performance, scale, and technical debt.
Evangelize infrastructure best practices across the organization and influence roadmap trade‑offs.
Ideal Background
5+ years of product management experience (or equivalent), ideally with exposure to B2B SaaS products, enterprise databases, and data platforms.
Strong technical fluency—comfortable working with engineers on systems, APIs, data models, and integration patterns.
Excellent customer discovery skills: experienced in conducting interviews, creating journey maps, and synthesizing qualitative and quantitative insights.
Highly structured thinker who can communicate complex concepts clearly and simply.
Comfortable working with high autonomy, ambiguity, and accountability.
Strong collaboration skills: able to manage stakeholders, drive alignment, and maintain cross‑team accountability.
Benefits
Competitive salary with equity and 401(k) plan.
Health & well‑being: comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits.
Commuter benefits: pre‑tax deductions for public transportation, rideshare services, and parking expenses.
Grow together: company‑wide orientation, learning & development opportunities, and regular 360‑degree feedback cycles.
Play together: quarterly budgets for team and company outings (team swag, cooking classes, or dinners).
Generous time off: flexible paid time off, sick days, and 11 company holidays.
Baby bonding time: 12 weeks off for both birthing and non‑birthing parents—fully paid.
Throughout the interview process, please remember that emails will only be from valon.com. We won’t ever ask for any personally identifying information during the interview process itself. Please reach out to talent@valon.com if you have any requests to verify the authenticity of an outreach.
