About Vantaca

Powered by AI, Vantaca's vision is big! We are the leading AI-native community management performance platform that enables owners and operators, community management teams, boards and associations to work smarter, faster, and with unprecedented insight. More than just accounting and management software, Vantaca is intelligent business operating software that leverages artificial intelligence to automate routine work, surface actionable insights, and help our customers increase revenue, efficiency, flexibility, and control.

Built on modern cloud architecture with a single-platform design, Vantaca combines comprehensive functionality that adapts to 100% of business processes with AI-powered automation that learns and improves over time. Our proactive AI capabilities don't just report on what happened; they predict what's coming and recommend what to do next. From intelligent document processing and predictive analytics to automated workflows and conversational interfaces, we're transforming how community management companies operate.

With seamless integrations across the software and banking ecosystem, we're building the intelligent hub for community management where AI doesn't just assist, it anticipates. Vantaca is focused exclusively on community management and is the trusted technology leader defining the AI-powered future of the community association management industry. We're building something fundamentally different, and our customers are experiencing the competitive advantage that comes from working with truly intelligent software.

Vantaca just achieved unicorn status with a $1.25B valuation, so it's safe to say we're past the "scrappy startup phase." We're not just building a successful company—we're building the category-defining platform that will transform how an entire industry operates.

We are rethinking software development from first principles in a post-Scrum world. We are building with AI coding agents daily and expect you to lead your team in adopting these practices effectively. Modularity in our systems allows AI agents to operate effectively.

Agentic Development:
We run multiple coding agents in parallel, manage work across git worktrees, and coordinate through orchestration systems. Our team uses Claude Code, Cursor, Devin, and at times other agent coding platforms. We are scaling spec-driven development to improve alignment between stakeholders within the software development lifecycle and improve cycle times to delivery as well as quality.

AI Engineering:
We believe in architecting our codebases and systems—microservices, interfaces, etc.—to be AI-accessible. This means building for testability, observability, and modularity. Where possible, we use AI to build the factory and not just the product: writing commands, agents, AGENT.md files, and structuring our systems for synchronous and asynchronous agent collaboration.

As Software Engineering Manager, you'll lead a team of 4-8 engineers building next-generation features for both our core Vantaca platform and HOAi's autonomous AI agents, serving thousands of community associations and millions of homeowners. This is a hands-on leadership role: you own your team's delivery, develop your people, maintain technical standards, and continuously improve how we work.

Your responsibilities span technical leadership (architecture decisions, code review, production quality), people leadership (1:1s, career development, mentorship), cross-functional collaboration, and delivery (owning outcomes, iterating on process).

You'll drive technical excellence while fostering an environment where diverse engineering talent delivers breakthrough innovations that eliminate entire workflows for community management companies, not just speed them up. Your team's work directly impacts customers who have already achieved results like processing 600 budgets in under 10 hours (previously 1,200 hours) and automating 95% of invoice workflows. This is engineering that transforms industries.
