Software Engineer (Core)

About the role

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

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of a real production workflow across our marketplace, supplier portal, internal tools, or AI automation systems
• Ship improvements used directly by customers, suppliers, or the Vendra team
• Work directly with Anish and the founding team to support our newest product lines

• Help us design and build the next product in our stack
• Improve backend systems, APIs, internal tools, and AI workflows that directly impact customers

Requirements

• 1+ years of experience building and shipping real products
• You understand software engineering principles and can adapt them to the current project
• 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: frontend, backend, APIs, data systems, infrastructure, and AI workflows
• 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

Qualifications

• You are willing to learn fast. Requirements change, processes change. We iterate at lightspeed and prioritize on a case by case basis.

Skills

• Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript
• Backend: Node.js, Python
• AI Stack: OpenAI models, Anthropic models, custom fine-tuned models, agentic workflows
• Infrastructure: AWS, Postgres, Redis, S3, MongoDB
• Data: Real-time quote intelligence, supplier availability, historical manufacturing performance, customer and supplier workflow data

Benefits

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.
