Vesta

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 However, the tools and technology that support homeownership are antiquated – they're dependent on outdated systems and processes, and require hours of manual review.
We're here to change that.
Vesta is the next-generation system of record powering the massive US mortgage market. We believe that the way mortgages are originated is overdue for transformation – that in order to build fully automated processes and fully digital customer journeys, lenders need a system of record 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 to power their consumer experiences. 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 received $45M in early stage financing from top tier investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Conversion Capital, Bain Capital Ventures, and Index Ventures.
Our team is small, but mighty. We value craftsmanship, boldness, self-awareness, lightheartedness, and a team-first mentality. If this sounds like you and you're excited by the idea of getting in at the ground level and building the infrastructure that will power the future of the financial industry, we would love to hear from you!
Who you areYou're looking to join a team at an inflection point: the product has product-market fit, and the next few years decide how big it gets. You're willing to work hard to make it big.You're proactive and resourceful. You move without being told, figure out what needs doing, and find a way through ambiguity and blockers rather than waiting for someone to clear the path. This is the trait that most predicts success on our team.You want to be one of the people who actually delivers real value from AI in an industry that matters.You love complex problems, nuanced spaces, and learning from experts (users, customer executives, industry partners).You take pride in the dirty work, the nitty gritty, because you know that's what separates truly great products from merely good ones.Teammates and customers describe you as "curious" and "humble". In a space as complex and old as mortgage, our customers are the experts. You respect that, and you combine their domain expertise with a firm grasp of technology and user experience to ship robust, elegant solutions.You distill complex learnings into crisp, precise insights, especially in writing. Curiosity doesn't build a world-class product if you can't communicate what you learned.You're a company builder and team player, excited to shape the product, the team, and the culture as they grow.Bonus points if you have worked in financial services and/or on enterprise products.
