Our AI workforce platform integrates machine learning technology to streamline labor-heavy processes, eliminating inefficiencies and driving scalability. With rapid growth in the AI space, we are pushing boundaries to redefine industry standards. HOAi Agents go beyond traditional AI by proactively executing complex, multi-step processes with human-like reasoning-working autonomously, 24/7, across your entire operation. This transformation optimizes labor costs, enables growth without additional hires, and ensures faster, higher-quality service for residents and board members.\nHOAi was acquired by Vantaca in the fall of 2024. 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.\nHere's the reality of our trajectory:\nGrowing 100% year-over-year\nOur AI product (HOAi) went from $0 to millions in months\nBacked by Cove Hill Partners and JMI Private Equity\n6M+ doors on our platform, displacing legacy systems\nOverview\nYour customers are our engineers. You will own the path from a commit on a laptop to a safe change in production, and you'll make that path fast, boring, and trustworthy for every pod at HOAi.\nShipping AI products creates a specific problem: a change to a prompt, a model version, or a tool definition can alter product behavior without failing a single unit test. Part of this role is building the release machinery that makes those changes as reviewable, testable, and reversible as any other code change. If you've wanted to own developer experience at a company where it visibly compounds - where the difference between a nine-minute and a forty-minute pipeline is felt by the whole org every day - this is that role.\nWhat You'll Own\nCI/CD & Build Performance: Own our pipelines end to end. Cut build and test times, parallelize what can be parallelized, and make pipeline results trustworthy enough that a red build actually stops people.\nDeployment & Release Safety: Own the promotion path from development to production: deploy mechanics, progressive rollout, feature flagging, and fast, reliable rollback. Make shipping a non-event.\nAI Release Infrastructure: Build the versioning, A/B testing, and rollout infrastructure for prompts, models, and agent configurations. Wire our evals harness into CI so behavioral regressions in tool calling and voice agents are caught before customers find them, not after.\nMigration Safety: Own the tooling and review path for zero-downtime schema migrations: blocking-lock detection, migration review automation, and surfacing slow queries back to the pod that introduced them.\nDeveloper Environments & Tooling: Own local and ephemeral environments, developer onboarding time, and the internal tooling that lets product engineers ship AI features quickly and safely without needing infrastructure expertise.\nSupply Chain Security: Own security of the build and deploy path: dependency and CVE scanning, secret scanning, SAST integration, artifact provenance, and least privilege on CI runners and deploy credentials.\nDocumentation & Enablement: Document architecture, runbooks, and operational procedures. Mentor engineers on platform tooling and raise the floor across pods.\nExpectations for Success\nDeployment frequency and lead time for changes\nChange failure rate and time to restore\nCI pipeline duration and flake rate\nTime from new-hire start to first production merge\nDeveloper satisfaction with platform tooling (measured via our DXI survey)\nCoverage of evals and security scanning in the release path\nRequirements\nRequired\n6+ years in infrastructure, platform, DevOps, or developer experience engineering\nOwned CI/CD for a meaningful codebase, with quantifiable improvements to build or deploy time\nBuilt or substantially operated a deployment pipeline with progressive rollout and rollback\nStrong scripting and automation skills; comfortable writing real code, not only configuration\nWorking knowledge of zero-downtime database migration patterns and the failure modes they prevent\nSupply chain security fluency: dependency scanning, secret scanning, credential scoping in CI\nCloud platform experience (AWS preferred)\nPreferred\nMonorepo tooling and build caching at scale\nJVM ecosystem experience (Kotlin/Gradle) - much of our platform lives here\nExperience building test or eval infrastructure for nondeterministic systems\nFeature flag and experimentation infrastructure\nPrior work where \"developer experience\" was the actual mandate, not a side project\nNot required: deep database query optimization or production on-call ownership of cloud infrastructure - those sit with our Cloud & Reliability role, and you'll partner closely with them.\nSkills & Competencies\nTreats internal engineers as customers and gathers real feedback rather than assuming\nDefaults to automating repetitive tasks and building scalable solutions\nUnderstands security implications and implements best practices by default\nExplains complex technical concepts clearly across teams and functions\nTakes initiative to identify and solve problems before they become critical\nComfortable with ambiguity and changing priorities in a fast-moving environment\nWhat We Value\nExtreme ownership: Takes full responsibility for outcomes, not just inputs \nCustomer-focused: Understands how infrastructure decisions impact end-user experience \nData-driven: Makes decisions based on metrics and evidence \nContinuous learner: Stays current with evolving technologies and best practices \nQuality-focused: Builds systems that are reliable, maintainable, and elegant \nVelocity-minded: Balances speed with quality; ships incrementally and iterates \nBar raiser: Sets and maintains high standards; elevates team performance and output quality \nStrong delegator: Empowers others effectively; distributes work based on strengths and growth opportunities \nWhy You Should Join Our Team\nOur eNPS is +68! (Google it, that is great).\nBenefits: Medical, Dental, and Vision kick in day one.\nUnlimited PTO (with a requirement for employees to take a minimum of one continuous week per year).\n401K with Company Match.\nRemote Flexible - come to the office when needed.\nGreat parental leave benefits.\nNamed on Inc 5000 list of America’s Fastest Growing Private Companies.\nNamed on Inc 5000 Vet 100 Private Companies list multiple years in a row.\nWinner of Coastal Entrepreneur Award, Technology Category.\nActive employee-led Culture Committee.\nOngoing industry and professional development trainings available to all employees.\nMultiple leaders on the executive committee recognized as 40 under 40 recipients for contributions to business and community.\nWe’re playing offense to win! Our product market fit and our world-class employees make us the leader in our space. We’re building something cool and people like it here.\nThe base salary range for this position is $200,000-$260,000/year. Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience and qualifications. Vantaca offers comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision insurance through Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina and Principal; Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts; a 401(k) plan with company match (up to 3% after one year, with Vantaca covering all administrative fees); and at no cost to you: life and short term disability insurance, telemedicine through Teladoc, and an Employee Assistance Program providing 24/7 access to counseling, financial planning, legal services, and family support resources.\nWe receive many resumes for our open positions and each one is reviewed by a human being on our recruiting team. We will compare your background with the qualifications and requirements for the position.\nIf you are selected for an interview you will receive an e-mail from someone on our recruiting team with an @vantaca.com email address. It may take some time for us to review all of the applications so give us some time to respond. We appreciate your interest in this role.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8231,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity","Growth opportunities","Parental leave","Professional development","Unlimited PTO","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Property Management","PropTech"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-16T20:10:16Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 8","filings_12m":8,"filings_prev_12m":3,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":242500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":4}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":75,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":260000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/vantaca-senior-infrastructure-engineer-developer-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/vantaca-senior-infrastructure-engineer-developer-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T05:56:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8113,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":452193},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=452193"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvantaca-senior-infrastructure-engineer-developer-platform"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fvantaca-senior-infrastructure-engineer-developer-platform"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fvantaca-senior-infrastructure-engineer-developer-platform"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/vantaca-senior-infrastructure-engineer-developer-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvantaca-senior-infrastructure-engineer-developer-platform"}]}
