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, benefitting financial institutions and their customers.
And, we're not alone.
We've raised $35M 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!
About the role:
As one of our first support specialists at Vesta, you’ll work closely with our customers to guide them on our product, troubleshoot and escalate issues to our product and engineering teams, all to ultimately make our customers successful. In this role, you can expect to:
- engage with Vesta’s customers through various communication channels, namely Zendesk, to work with them on issues, errors, product questions, bugs, and product feedback
- initially troubleshoot issues or questions yourself by using our internal debugging tools, looking for steps to reproduce the issue, or providing explanations on how to use Vesta
- collaborate with our product and engineering teams when needed, clearly communicating the customer problems, and providing context and other materials that will aid in resolving the issue
- become a Vesta product expert, understanding a large breadth of functionality within the platform in order to clearly and effectively explain to users how to navigate the product
- have an eye towards scalability by documenting product functionality and new feature releases in our help center so that users can self serve
- observe and communicate trends in customer feedback or pain points to our product, design, and engineering teams, to help identify areas of our product that may be particularly confusing or error-prone
- be an indispensable part of delivering industry-changing software to our customers!
Who you are:
- You have 3+ years of experience with the mortgage industry, specifically in navigating and working with mortgage systems, ideally on the business process, or technical/IT side (experience working with Loan Origination Systems specifically is a big plus).
- You are comfortable learning and working with software tools, and you are willing to dive in to the details of how our system interacts with other software providers. You have a basic understanding of how APIs work, and aren’t afraid to learn more.
- You are passionate about solving customer problems in order to help them achieve their goals. You can deeply empathize with user pain points and questions (perhaps because you’ve experienced them before yourself).
- You are curious, persistent, and like problem-solving! You like to get to the “why” and won’t stop until you figure it out. Complex problems are your favorite, and you’re willing to dig deep to get to a solution.
- You're looking to join an early-stage team to build something BIG, something industry-changing, and you’re excited about being part of that quickly-moving, fast-growing journey.
