You'll work across vendor lifecycle management and vendor monitoring, collaborating with product and design to ship features that directly impact how customers track and mitigate third-party risk.

About the Role

• Write clean, well-tested code and actively participate in code reviews to uphold engineering quality standards
• Engage in architecture discussions and contribute to technical decision-making within your team
• Partner with product, design, and other engineering teams to deliver high-quality, customer-facing features with real business impact

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with full-stack or product-focused development
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript/React (front-end) or a backend language such as Node.js
• Experience building and shipping production-quality web applications in a fast-paced environment
• Solid understanding of databases and REST or GraphQL API design
• Collaborative approach to engineering; ability to partner across product, design, and engineering to deliver results
• Nice to have: experience building with AI agents, LLM APIs (OpenAI/Anthropic), or eval frameworks — especially relevant for Vendor Lifecycle team roles
