Tech Stack

About the role

  • Design and evolve the core Product Operations frameworks that allow Valon to learn from production at scale, including user acceptance testing, data migration testing, etc.
  • Identify structural gaps in how product insights are captured, prioritized, and acted on, and create durable mechanisms that work across teams and product areas.
  • Operate horizontally across ValonOS, focusing on cross-cutting patterns rather than isolated customer or feature-level issues.
  • Lead investigation of complex, ambiguous, or recurring issues that span multiple teams, going beyond symptom-level fixes to systemic root causes.
  • Partner with Engineering and FDA to improve issue definition, incident response, and long-term prevention.
  • Own and refine how Valon validates product readiness and learns from releases through alpha testing, rollout feedback, and post-launch analysis.
  • Act as a senior systems-level partner to Product and Engineering, translating real-world usage, operational complexity, and regulatory nuance into clear product implications.
  • Synthesize signals across customers, data, and incidents to surface risks and opportunities that inform roadmap and prioritization decisions.
  • Operate as a force multiplier by creating artifacts, documentation, and processes that raise the bar for product quality and decision-making across the organization.

Requirements

  • 4-7+ years in product operations, product-adjacent roles, business operations, consulting, customer success, or a similar analytical environment.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to break down ambiguous problems and uncover root causes.
  • Technical curiosity—you’re eager to learn SQL or work with data to understand product behavior.
  • Clear communicator who can translate between technical teams and end users with ease.
  • High sense of ownership, reliability, and urgency in driving issues to full resolution.
  • Comfort partnering closely with product managers and engineers, and contributing to product thinking.
  • Nice to Have: Experience supporting or implementing enterprise SaaS products.
  • Nice to Have: Exposure to regulated or process-heavy industries (mortgage servicing, financial services, healthcare).
  • Nice to Have: Familiarity with incident management, workflow tools, or customer support platforms.
Benefits
  • Compensation: competitive salary of $150,000 -$185,000 plus a meaningful stake in the company via equity, and 401k plan.
  • Health & well-being: we’ll invest in your physical and mental well-being with comprehensive medical, dental, & vision benefits
  • Commuter benefits: We offer pre-tax deductions for public transportation, rideshare services, and parking expenses to make your commute more affordable and convenient
  • Grow together: Company wide orientation for you to successfully onboard and other learning & development opportunities including regular review cycles that feature 360 degree feedback
  • Play together: quarterly budgets for team and company outings. Use it for team swag, cooking classes, or team dinners!
  • Generous time off: flexible paid time off, sick days, and 11 company holidays
  • Baby bonding time!: 12 weeks off for both birthing and non-birthing parents - fully paid so you can focus your energy on your newest addition
