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.

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Automation - Foundations team, you will lead the re-platforming of the data layer underneath Vanta’s entire compliance product.

Foundations ingests tens of thousands of security and compliance resources per second from across our customer’s environments. We store the data, catalog it, make it queryable, and turn it into evidence that has to survive a real SOC 2 or FedRAMP audit.

We are in the middle of moving our platform from a monolithic Mongo-centric architecture to a Kafka data pipeline that decouples data fetching from processing and is backed by Postgres and S3. Our biggest challenges are around supporting this migration at scale in a domain that requires correctness and while supporting an evolving set of requirements for upcoming products.

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

What you'll do as a Staff Software Engineer at Vanta:

Lead the migration of Vanta’s resource data model from a Mongo-centric solution to a schema-aware Postgres-backed solution and running both generations in parallel without breaking a customer integration.
Drive solutions across teams that you do not own but are dependent on the platform built by your team.
Design for correctness under eventual consistency with idempotent session handling, conditional writes that survive out-of-order delivery, reconciliation rather than strict cross-service validation, and explicitly backpressure instead of implicit database limits.

Design and evolve Vanta's data ingestion and pipeline architecture, ensuring reliable, high-throughput processing of terabyte-scale data streams across distributed systems
Take our Query API from internal use to a production platform with schema versioning, joins and exports, per-tenant isolation, and predictable latency under load.
Build data infrastructure where correctness is externally auditable as the evidence Vanta produces has to hold up in front of an auditor.
Diagnose the failures that only appear at production data shapes and can include hot partitions, unbounded fan-out, and online rewrites of continuously-written tables.
Set architectural direction for streaming infrastructure (Kafka and event queuing), caching layers (Redis), and persistent storage (Postgres, MongoDB) across the Foundations stack
Mentor senior engineers across the team, raising the technical bar through design reviews, architectural guidance, and hands-on contributions to the most complex systems challenges
Champion engineering excellence in reliability, observability, and operational hygiene across the data infrastructure that powers Vanta's core product
Leverage AI tools and systems to accelerate your own work and explore how they can improve the systems you build

How to be successful in this role:

Proven track record leading platform migration initiatives (v1→v2 architecture transitions) while maintaining backward compatibility and system availability
Strong command of streaming and queuing infrastructure (Kafka or equivalent), including partitioning strategy, consumer group semantics, redelivery, and idempotency.
Deep industry experience in distributed systems and data pipeline engineering, with demonstrated experience designing and operating systems at enterprise scale (terabyte-scale ingestion, high-throughput event processing)
Fluency in both relational and document data modeling at scale (Postgres and MongoDB), including query planning, connection pooling, and online schema change on large, continuously written tables.
Experience collaborating with engineering leadership to define multi-quarter technical roadmaps and drive them through to delivery
Solid AWS fundamentals and comfort operating in TypeScript and Node.
Able to articulate complex systems tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical audiences and bring cross-functional partners along on long-horizon technical decisions

Open to using AI to amplify your skills and strengthen your 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

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.
