About The Position

Vantaca is seeking an Engineering Manager, Platform to shape and lead the development of its AI-native community management performance platform. This role involves designing and delivering a centralized Identity & Access Management (IAM) layer, building robust API infrastructure and enhancing developer experience, owning the AI orchestration layer for AI agent workflows, and setting engineering standards for quality, testing, and security. The manager will also lead and grow a platform engineering team, hiring AI-native engineers and fostering a high-trust environment. Vantaca is a rapidly growing company that has achieved unicorn status, transforming the community association management industry with AI-powered solutions.

Requirements

• 7+ years in software engineering; 3+ years managing engineering teams
• Hands-on experience building developer platforms, API gateways, or internal platform services consumed by multiple teams at scale — thousands of daily active consumers across a multi-tenant system
• IAM expertise: OAuth 2.0, OIDC, RBAC, multi-tenant identity at scale
• API design discipline — evolvable contracts, versioning, rate limiting, and a genuine opinion about developer experience
• Distributed systems fundamentals: queuing, event-driven patterns, observability, SLIs/SLOs
• Strong relational data modeling and correctness under scale
• Active daily use of AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar)
• Deep experience designing and operating AI orchestration systems: agent planning loops, tool routing, execution lifecycle, and failure recovery
• You write specs before code and use AI to execute them — agentic development is your default workflow, not an experiment
• LLM production experience: cost/latency tradeoffs, evals, observability at scale
• Polyglot and pragmatic — language follows the problem
• You develop engineers and hold a high bar without micromanaging
• You’re in the work — your input on architecture and design earns trust from the team
• Your RFCs, ADRs, and runbooks are clear and actually used
• You hold cross-team standards without becoming a bottleneck

Nice To Haves

• Background at a platform-as-a-service or developer-tools company (Stripe, Plaid, Twilio, or similar)
• Experience with event streaming infrastructure in a multi-tenant context
• Exposure to property management, HOA, or real estate tech

Responsibilities

• Design and deliver a centralized IAM layer, including authentication, authorization, RBAC, and multi-tenant identity, used across all Vantaca surfaces and API consumers.
• Build the API gateway, versioning, and contracts that internal teams and external partners depend on, and own the developer experience of consuming them.
• Own the orchestration layer that governs how AI agents plan, reason, and execute across platform APIs, including tool routing, execution lifecycle, rate limiting, quota enforcement, and reliability contracts.
• Set and champion cross-team standards for quality, testing, and security, embedded in how the platform team works and how other teams adopt platform services.
• Lead and grow a platform engineering team, hiring AI-native engineers, building high trust, and partnering closely with product engineering leads across the organization.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision kick in day one
• Unlimited PTO (with a requirement for employees to take a minimum of one continuous week per year)
• 401K with Company Match
• Great parental leave benefits
• Ongoing industry and professional development trainings available to all employees
