About Vanti
Are you interested in disrupting an industry, and doing some really cool tech in the process?
At Vanti, we’re not satisfied with how buildings work and how technology is integrated into them. We’re on a mission to drive positive change for the benefit of everyone that uses a building and for the protection of our planet.
Our software development team is a central part of this goal, delivering innovative solutions to complex challenges; whether it’s lowering the power use in a building to charge an electric flying vehicle (eVTOL) on the roof, dispatching the cleaning robots when it’s been raining outside, or even making the lights across an entire building respond to a music track.
You could be delivering fully integrated smart buildings, controlling the electric blinds in a football stadium or the audio and lighting in a theatre from a single iPad, or conducting critical research on security and dynamic load shedding for the national energy grid.
We don’t work on projects which require templated, one-size fits all cookie-cutter solutions and we don’t place shackles on creativity. We actively encourage inclusive, outside-the-box thinking so we can lead the way in educating the industries we serve on best practice for future generations.
This isn’t some vaporous claim or goal, either. We’re now an accredited B-Corp with a legal commitment to driving systems change and a mission to demonstrate that businesses can be run in a way that has a positive impact on society.
We realise that to achieve our ambitions we need talented people to join our community and a first-class working environment where we can come together to collaborate, which contributes to everyone’s success. As well as a range of company-wide benefits we provide flexibility for individuals, so you can reach your potential and deliver your best work around the challenges of everyday life.
We’d love you to join our mission.

Because we know how important it is to give people an idea of what they’d be earning in this role, the salary range we’ve got in mind is £40,000 - £48,000. If that sounds ok to you (or even if it doesn’t), we’d like to say a bit more about salaries, so please read on…
We have a rough idea in mind of what salaries we pay for certain types of roles based on current team members and market rate (hence the range we’ve advertised for this role), but we prefer to have conversations with candidates and discuss what they’re looking for. We would hate to say, “we will only pay up to £48,000” and for that to put someone off who could add huge value to our growth journey.
We’re transparent and happy to chat about all things finance and money very openly, so feel free to ask us if you’d like to know more!
