Senior Software Engineer, Backend - Personnel Workflows

At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. 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 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.

Vanta engineers design and develop new product functionality and infrastructure leveraging modern frameworks and tooling, including TypeScript, React, Node.js, MongoDB, and various AWS services such as Fargate and ECS.

This role on the Personnel Workflows team will focus on a core part of Vanta's business by helping our customers meet their security and compliance goals through effective management of employees, computers and account access. You'll directly impact Vanta's growth by helping us solve personnel management at scale!

  • Lead complex projects with multiple stakeholders and engineers to enable our business and team to scale

  • Support design reviews, communicate constraints, and help engineers make the right trade-offs

  • Develop and launch greenfield products

  • Drive initiatives to increase operational posture and execution quality across the engineering organization

How to be successful in this role:

  • Have at least 8 years of industry experience

  • Have a strong product mindset and previous experience working in product engineering

  • Have experience with data models

  • Have worked on or shipped enterprise products

  • Have played technical leadership roles for teams or complex projects

  • Have an interest in learning about security or prior experience in the space

  • Work with talented and kind engineers to make a significant impact on our customer base, enabling them to improve their security and prove it

  • Contribute to building Vanta’s engineering culture as we grow

What you can expect as a U.S. Vantan:

  • Industry-competitive compensation

  • 100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage

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

  • Health & wellness and remote workplace stipends

  • Family planning benefits through Carrot Fertility

  • 401(k) matching

  • Flexible work hours and location

  • Open PTO policy

  • 11 paid holidays in the US

  • Offices in SF, NYC, Dublin, 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.

#LI-remote

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.
