Full Stack Engineer (Core)

Vendra is building the AI‑native operating system for manufacturing procurement and supply chain. Our goal is simple: build platforms, both external and internal, that allow fewer people to accomplish dramatically more. Think about what Claude Code did for engineers. We are doing that for supply chain (and are well on our way). What You Will Do Within days 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 Shan, Anish, and the founding team to support our newest product lines. Use AI tools like Claude Code aggressively to move faster, prototype faster, and ship higher‑quality software with fewer cycles wasted. Within weeks Become responsible for one of our core platforms. Suggest, plan, and execute product and engineering improvements. Help us design and build the next product in our stack. Improve backend systems, APIs, internal tools, and AI workflows that directly impact customers. Within months Help define product and technical vision. Build new platforms and products that support our mission. Develop a deep understanding of supply chain, procurement, and custom part manufacturing. Work with us to automate more of the manufacturing procurement lifecycle from RFQ to supplier matching, quoting, ordering, tracking, and fulfillment using Agentic Workflows. Who You Are You have 1+ years of experience building and shipping real products. We don't care about your degree; we care about the systems you've put into production. Tell us about those in the message you send over. You understand software engineering principles. You also understand that they could be wrong at this stage. You know when to follow them and when to break past them. You are a true full‑stack builder. You can move from React and TypeScript to backend APIs, databases, infrastructure, and AI workflows without needing everything perfectly defined. You DO NOT need experience in supply chain or hardware. You just need to be a really good engineer. You use Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI coding tools. You have already changed the way you build because of these tools, and you are excited to push that even further. You are a US Person (Green Card 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. 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. Bonus You are a former founder, early startup engineer, or someone who has owned a product end‑to‑end before. We especially like people who know what it feels like to build from zero, talk to users, make tradeoffs, and keep shipping even when the path is messy.
