Summary
Ellie Bahadori is a Senior Software Engineer in San Francisco with 10 years of experience building product-focused, distributed systems that prioritize data flow, fault tolerance, and clean API design. She combines rigorous engineering practices—modular, well-tested code and intentional system design—with a product mindset to ship reliable, maintainable services. Her background in philosophy from UC Berkeley, where she studied modal logic and formal semantics, informs a precise approach to system specification and API contracts. At Vanta she applies this blend of theoretical rigor and practical engineering to security-adjacent infrastructure, translating complex requirements into auditable, production-ready solutions. Colleagues know her for clarifying ambiguous problems and bringing logical structure to messy, real-world systems.
