Original job description

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.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Product Platform org - the group that powers product development across Vanta by building the shared foundations that every engineering team builds on top of. This hire will join one of two closely-aligned teams within the org, each working on foundational challenges with company-wide impact.

Application Primitives is responsible for the shared, customer-facing platform components that product teams implement across the product: examples include comments, notifications platform, event log infrastructure, and agentic audit trails. This team sits at the intersection of platform and product - not pure infrastructure, not pure product - building the reusable building blocks that let other teams ship faster and more consistently.

Libraries & Foundations is a brand-new team that owns Vanta's internal engineering libraries and golden-path patterns. Sitting between core platform and product platform in the stack, this team builds the TypeScript-first abstractions and shared foundations that all Vanta engineers build on top of - including event-driven architecture libraries, code quality tooling, and test frameworks.

You'll be evaluated for both teams based on your background and interests, and the decision on team placement will reflect where your skills and passions are the strongest fit.

Visit our Vanta Engineering Blog to learn more about what our team is working on!

What you’ll do as a Senior Software Engineer, Product Platform at Vanta:

Design and build high-quality, scalable systems and shared libraries that multiple engineering teams depend on - whether that's shared customer-facing components (Applications Primitives) or internal abstractions (Libraries & Foundations)
Partner deeply with product engineering teams to understand their needs and translate them into clean, well-documented APIs and services
Drive technical decisions and influence architecture across team boundaries, with a focus on developer experience and platform scalability
Define and uphold engineering standards for shared components, ensuring consistency, performance, and security across the systems you own
Participate actively in code review, design discussions, and technical planning - raising the engineering quality bar for your team and beyond
Write and maintain thorough documentation for the systems and libraries you build, enabling engineers across the org to use and contribute to them
Contribute to building Vanta's engineering culture as we scale

How to be successful in this role:

Industry experience in backend or fullstack software engineering, with a focus on platform, shared infrastructure, or developer-facing systems
Experience building shared APIs, services, or platform components used by multiple engineering teams - a platform mindset is critical
Familiarity with distributed systems, event-driven architecture, or message queue systems (Kafka, SQS, pub/sub)
Excellent communication skills - able to work cross-functionally with engineering, product, and design stakeholders, and to clearly articulate technical trade-offs
Track record of shipping high-quality, maintainable code with sound judgment on architectural decisions
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.

What you can expect as a Vanta’n:

Industry-competitive salary and equity
100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage
Pension contribution
16 weeks paid Parental Leave for all new parents
Health & wellness stipend
Remote workspace, internet, and cellphone stipend
Flexible work hours and location
21 days of Vacation Time and 80 hours of Sick Leave
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. As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage and welcome people of all backgrounds to apply.

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.
