Software Engineer, Application Platform, (All Levels)

Description

Vantaca is the leading AI-native community management performance platform. We enable owners and operators, community management teams, boards, and associations to work smarter, faster, and with unprecedented insight. Our platform uses artificial intelligence to automate routine work, surface actionable insights, and help customers increase revenue, efficiency, flexibility, and control.

The Opportunity

The Vantaca Community Management Platform is the flagship application powering community operations, accounting workflows, homeowner requests, board communication, approvals, task execution, and integrations. This role focuses on modernizing the platform to support an agentic era, where humans and HOAi Fleet agents operate from the same trusted system.

What You'll Own

• Drive modernization of the Vantaca Community Management Platform across domains that power community operations, accounting workflows, homeowner requests, board communication, approvals, task execution, and integrations.
• Design and deliver agent-ready APIs, domain models, and platform capabilities used by desktop experiences, mobile workflows, third-party integrations, and HOAi Fleet agents operating in production.
• Turn complex business processes into reusable orchestration patterns that make critical workflows easier to execute, automate, observe, and evolve.
• Define safe agent execution patterns, including predictable tool contracts, permission boundaries, approval paths, idempotency, observability, and auditability.
• Own technical decisions for your domain from design through delivery, including API contracts, data correctness, production reliability, and operational readiness.
• Partner with product, QA, AI, and engineering leaders to translate real customer workflows into shippable platform capabilities.
• Use AI-native development practices to increase engineering throughput, including spec-driven development, agent-assisted implementation, and orchestration of multiple build units in parallel.

What We're Looking For

• A platform-minded engineer who sees API design as product design and understands that contracts define how humans, systems, integrations, and agents operate.
• Deep software engineering fundamentals across distributed systems, domain modeling, data design, service boundaries, testing, debugging, observability, and production ownership.
• Experience designing production systems that serve multiple consumers, user types, applications, or automation surfaces from the same underlying business logic.
• Ability to take complex business workflows, identify the core model underneath them, and turn that model into reliable, reusable platform capability.
• Strong judgment in modernization work: knowing when to evolve existing systems, when to redesign, and how to keep shipping while improving the foundation.
• AI-native engineering fluency: you use agents as part of your development workflow, can break work into executable units, coordinate multiple implementation paths in parallel, and maintain architectural and quality control while increasing throughput.
• Strong product and business instincts. You care about the workflow being solved, not just the code being written.

Preferred Experience

• Built workflow-heavy business applications in operationally complex domains such as accounting, payments, financial operations, property management, community management, banking, insurance, ERP, or similar industries.
• Experience modernizing platforms across APIs, services, data models, integrations, workflow orchestration, event-driven systems, or durable business processes.
• Experience designing agent-ready or automation-ready architecture, including tool contracts, composable operations, approval workflows, verification, auditability, and human-in-the-loop controls.
• Polyglot technical range: comfortable moving across languages, frameworks, data stores, and codebases to solve the right problem with the right tool.
• High-agency track record: you have owned meaningful systems end-to-end and shipped through ambiguity. You'll thrive here if You're energized by the business problems you're solving and you want to define, design, and own outcomes end-to-end.

The Way We Work

• Shoot for Impossible, Make it Happen — we set audacious goals, break them into executable steps, and don't flinch at hard problems.
• Radical Candor, Humble Excellence — direct feedback, genuine care, no politics.
• AI-accelerated velocity — we expect innovative use of AI development tools.

Core Values

• Always Growing: Likes change and enjoys finding new ways to improve their knowledge and the product. Always ready to learn quickly, helping themselves and the team grow.
• Win as a Team: Builds trust and works together by making sure everyone communicates well. Actively involved in daily work, working closely with the team, listening to their ideas, and celebrating successes together.
