Mortgage Process Specialist

What we're doing

Owning a home is a foundational part of building financial security and wealth in America. However, the tools and technology that support homeownership are antiquated, dependent on things like fax machines, handwritten documentation, and hours of manual review.

We're here to change it.

Vesta was founded to rebuild the mortgage LOS from the ground up. Our founding belief is that the future of mortgage lending will be a fully automated process. Today, our AI augmented platform makes that a reality. Our mission has been to build a platform where AI isn’t just an add-on, but the core engine that transforms how a loan is actually manufactured.

Who we are

Our founding team is no stranger to the complexities of the financial industry. As early employees at Blend, they spent years together focused on creating modern cloud infrastructure for banks. Now, with Vesta, they are transforming the mortgage industry by creating the most flexible, open, and automated origination experience, benefitting financial institutions and their customers.

And, we're not alone.

We've raised $55M from top tier investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital Ventures, Conversion Capital, Zigg Capital, and Index Ventures.

Our team is small, but mighty. We are a collection of humans who value humility, empathy, self-awareness, and an orientation towards action. If this sounds like you and you're excited by the idea of getting in at the ground level to build the infrastructure that will power the future of the financial industry, we would love to hear from you!

This is an area where deep domain knowledge translates directly into product impact.

• You are highly technical, or technically adept with a strong desire to go deeper. You're comfortable working closely with engineers and product managers, reading API documentation, reasoning about data schemas, and pulling apart JSON/XML payloads to understand what's actually happening under the hood.

• You are curious and hungry to identify, triage, and help solve any problem you come across, big or small, and you're excited to apply your depth of knowledge across a variety of projects.

• You are a self-starter and team player who's comfortable flexing across a variety of problems, and you do so while keeping an eye toward detail and executing with precision.
