Careers at Vecten

Engineering work that compounds.

Vecten builds proprietary data infrastructure and AI systems for firms that move serious capital. AI is shifting engineering value toward judgment and ownership – we hire engineers who want that whole job: the building, the deciding, and the people on the other side of it.

Values

Five operating principles

How decisions get made when no one's watching.

Production is the deliverable

Code that runs. The engineers who design a system also deploy and operate it.

Direction over velocity

Both matter. Direction matters more. A day on the right problem beats a day shipping five features no one needed.

Compress the loop

Short distance between intent and impact. Between code and prod, question and answer, judgment and execution.

Density over headcount

A small team of strong engineers does more than a large team of average ones. We hire deliberately and invest in the people we bring on.

Honest by default

We say what we see – when the client is wrong, the architecture is doomed, a colleague is off. And we expect the same back. Constant feedback isn't uncomfortable – silence is.
Recruitment process

Three steps

Decision within a week of finishing the process.

01

Initial screening call

A 30-minute conversation with HR. We learn what you're working on, what you want to build next, what makes for a good day at work.

02

Technical deep-dive

A working session on a real problem – our code, prepared to be worked on with agents. We're watching how you reason, not whether you memorized algorithms.

03

Conversation with engineering leadership

A final call with a co-founder or senior partner. Often technical – we use the time to dig into nuanced experience and gauge fit for how we work as an engineering team.

Some clients ask us to align our hiring with their internal process. When that's the case for a specific role, we'll tell you upfront and walk you through what's different.

Benefits

Conditions for your best work

Direct client contact

You work directly with the decision-makers your code serves – CTOs, VPs, tech leads, GPs, clinical operators. Real exposure to how decisions get made, not a seat behind a project manager.

AI-native tooling, on by default

Claude Code, Cursor, internal MCP servers, agent infrastructure built in-house. We don't gatekeep what makes you faster.

Architecture latitude

You own how the problem gets solved. Constraints are set together, but the implementation is yours. You'll always have someone to talk it through, review the approach, or pair on it.

Room to be wrong

Mistakes here are caught early and cost little. The point is learning from them together, not repeating them.

Senior-weighted teams

You spend your time solving problems, not explaining context. Peers and leads are sharp enough to challenge you. When something's hard, they also help with both the engineering and the human side.

Work that stays in your hands

Most of what we ship runs for years. You stay close to your own decisions long enough to see what they're worth.

Remote-first

Fully remote if you want it, with an office in central Warsaw if you don't. US client hours overlap, no graveyard shifts. Compensation reflects seniority and scope.
