    About this role

    At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it. 

    Our Senior Software Engineers lead and mentor engineers, delivering high-value products for our customers and infrastructure that enables our business to scale.

    As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be responsible for setting technical direction to enable our product and infrastructure to scale with our business, driving complex projects across our technical stack, and mentoring our talented engineering team. Your past experience will be leveraged to enable and accelerate Vanta's growth.

    Our business has found incredible product-market fit and has monetized effectively since the day we signed our first customer. We're growing at a blistering pace, which presents career-defining opportunities for engineers to accelerate their growth and to contribute to a rapidly-scaling company.

    Visit our Vanta Engineering Blog https://www.vanta.com/all-categories/engineering to learn more about what our team is working on!

    The Authoring Experience team owns how Vanta tests are authored and deployed to customers, from the APIs and services underneath to the experiences built on top. As a Senior Backend Engineer on this team, you will own the services and public-facing customer APIs that turn Vanta's automation platform into products customers touch directly, stitching together systems across the platform to serve them well.

    What you’ll do as a Senior Fullstack Software Engineer at Vanta:

    • Own the architecture and rollout strategy for critical platform services, from initial design through large-scale rollout and migration.

    • Set the technical bar for how we design, publish, and maintain customer-facing APIs while owning things like security, reliability, and developer experience.

    • Stitch together services across Vanta's platform to serve customer-facing use cases, designing clear service boundaries and partnering closely with our data-platform teams on access patterns.

    • Raise the written design bar: drive RFCs and decision records that make architectural decisions durable and shared across the team.

    • Act as a force multiplier: mentor engineers up to your own level, expand the team's review capacity, and partner with your EM on team health and culture.

    • Build with TypeScript and Node.js on the backend, contribute to customer-facing experiences in React, and use AI tools to accelerate development and workflows.

    How to be successful in this role:

    • 8+ years of backend development building reliable, scalable, fault-tolerant systems.

    • You've designed and shipped external or public product APIs: contracts, versioning, authentication, and the developer experience around them.

    • You think in service boundaries and system design rather than any single layer of the stack, with enough data-layer fluency to partner well with dedicated platform teams.

    • You're comfortable working in a modern frontend codebase (we use React); you don't need to be an expert, but building product end to end is part of the day-to-day here.

    • Track record driving complex, ambiguous, multi-quarter initiatives to completion, directly and through others.

    • Experience rolling out or deprecating major systems safely at scale.

    • Strong written design communication and demonstrated mentorship; you multiply the engineers around you.

    • Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.

    Bonus: startup or bias-for-action environments, MongoDB at scale, prior work in security or compliance products.

    Requirements

    • Physical location: you must reside in, and perform all work exclusively from within, the United States, accessing systems only from U.S. locations.

    • Work Authorization Requirements: You must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship

    What you can expect as a Vanta’n:

    • Industry-competitive salary and equity

    • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% of employee-only benefit premiums covered for most medical plans

    • 16 weeks fully-paid Parental Leave for all new parents

    • Health & wellness stipend

    • Remote workspace, internet, and cellphone stipend

    • Commuter benefits for team members who report to the SF and NYC office

    • Family planning benefits

    • Matching 401(k) contribution with immediate vesting

    • Flexible PTO policy, plus 80 hours of Sick Time

    • 11 company-paid holidays

    • Virtual team building activities, lunch and learns, and other company-wide events!

    • Offices in SF, NYC, London, Dublin, Tel Aviv, and Sydney

    To provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base pay ranges for all US-based job postings regardless of state. We set standard base pay ranges for all roles based on function, level, and country location, benchmarked against similar-stage growth companies. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors and may vary based on candidate location, skills, depth of work experience, and relevant licenses/credentials.

    At Vanta, we are committed to hiring diverse talent of different backgrounds and as such, it is important to us to provide an inclusive work environment for all. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender identity, age, religion, sexual orientation, veteran or disability status, or any other protected class.

    About Vanta

    We started in 2018, in the wake of several high-profile data breaches. Online security was only becoming more important, but we knew firsthand how hard it could be for fast-growing companies to invest the time and manpower it takes to build a solid security foundation. Vanta was inspired by a vision to restore trust in internet businesses by enabling companies to improve and prove their security. From our early days automating security monitoring for compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 to creating the world's leading Trust Management Platform, our vision remains unchanged. 

    Now more than ever, making security continuous—not just a point-in-time check— is essential. Thousands of companies rely on Vanta to build, maintain and demonstrate their trust— all in a way that's real-time and transparent.
