Chief of Staff

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 However the tools and technology that support homeownership are antiquated – they're dependent on outdated systems and processes and require hours of manual review.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!
