About the role
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, benefiting 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. We believe that our team is our greatest competitive advantage and take pride in having a team of exceptional humans. As a team, we value humility, empathy, self-awareness, and an orientation towards action.
