Natasha Hede is a Senior Software Engineer based in the Bay Area with nine years of experience building scalable full‑stack systems and shipping performance-focused frontend and backend improvements. She has driven impactful work across Lattice—leading rewrites of permissioning and data-heavy components, optimizing core pages to cut latency for upmarket customers, and contributing to an AI-driven chat product using RAG and retrieval systems—and now contributes at Vanta. Comfortable across React, Node, SQL, and backend APIs, she blends product-minded engineering with mentorship and transition support during complex rollouts. Her background in biology and early lab research gives her a disciplined, experimental approach to problem solving and testing. Outside work she balances intense focus with outdoor pursuits and vinyl‑spinning, and she candidly admits to debugging in her head long after the IDE is closed.
