Full Stack Engineer (Security and Cloud)

About the role

Vendra is building the AI-native operating system for manufacturing procurement and supply chain. You will be part of the core engineering team at Vendra. This is a high-ownership fullstack role where you will help shape everything from our architecture across multiple connected platforms to the product experiences our customers rely on every day.

Who You Are

• 1+ years of experience building and shipping real products
• You understand software engineering principles and know when to follow them and when to break past them
• You are a true fullstack builder capable of moving from React and TypeScript to backend APIs, databases, infrastructure, and AI workflows without needing everything perfectly defined
• You use Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI coding tools and are excited to push that even further
• You are a US Person (Greencard works too)
• You are strong in at least one part of the stack and excited to work across the rest
• You can take ambiguous product or customer problems and turn them into working software quickly
• You are comfortable working directly with founders, customers, and suppliers to understand what needs to be built
• You are excited by AI, automation, marketplaces, infrastructure, and the opportunity to transform a massive offline industry
• You want a high-ownership role where your work ships fast and matters immediately
• You are willing to learn fast. Requirements change, processes change. We iterate at lightspeed and prioritize on a case by case basis

How We Work

We plan, push, and ship features many times in a single day. You will not be stuck waiting weeks to see your work matter. At Vendra, the feedback loop is immediate: you build, customers use it, and the product gets better.

Why we started Vendra

Vendra started from a simple realization: the hardest part of building hardware is not just managing suppliers. It is finding the right suppliers in the first place. Before launching this version of Vendra one year ago, we spent six months building productivity tools for hardware teams working with manufacturers. But the deeper we got into the problem, the clearer it became that the real bottleneck was supplier discovery, quoting, and procurement. So we pivoted. Within two weeks of the idea, we launched the first version of Vendra. Apple became our first customer, and we have been growing at lightspeed ever since.
