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 is the next-generation system of record to power the multi-trillion mortgage market. We believe that we are overdue for a core transformation – that in order to build a fully automated process and fully digital customer journeys, lenders will have to adopt a system of record platform that is modern, open, and orchestrated by best-in-class software workflows. 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. If this sounds like you and you're excited by the idea of getting in at the ground level to be part of building the infrastructure that will power the future of the finance industry, we would love to hear from you! Who you are: You’re a support professional who thrives solving complex problems and being a bridge between customers and the business. You enjoy understanding how systems work, digging into edge cases, and methodically troubleshooting issues that don’t have obvious answers. You’re comfortable supporting enterprise customers with high expectations and you take pride in providing clear, thoughtful, and empathetic support even when things are broken or a situation is unclear. You don’t need prior mortgage industry experience to succeed here though it is definitely appreciated. What matters most is strong support fundamentals, curiosity, and the ability to learn complex products and domain knowledge over time. You’re excited to join an early-stage company, but you’re also realistic about what that means: ambiguity, evolving processes, and the opportunity to shape how support is done — not just follow a script.
