Who you are- You'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.
About the roleVesta has found product-market fit. Lenders run their business on our system of record, and we're at the point where AI lets us automate work that used to take rooms of people. You'd:
- Own a product area end to end: understand the customer problems, write precise specs, and drive execution with engineering and design
- Become an industry expert, providing the mortgage and business context the team needs to solve the most important customer problems
- Work closely with Vesta's existing and prospective customers to deeply understand their needs and problems
- Shape how AI gets applied to a real, regulated industry
- Help shape the product team and its culture, and Vesta's as well
Note: We don't expect you to have a deep understanding of the nuances of the mortgage process or industry initially. However, success in this role will require a high degree of curiosity, persistence, and willingness to learn the mortgage ecosystem.
