What the job involves
- As a Senior Software Engineer on the Self-Serve Team, you’ll be part of the Platform organization at Vanta, working horizontally across many areas of the product
- Compliance is a complex and ever-changing space—regulations are dense, requirements vary, and for most companies, achieving compliance for the first time feels overwhelming. Our team’s mission is to make this process simpler, clearer, and faster
- You’ll help drive customer activation, engagement, and retention by building features and tools that demystify compliance
- The work you do will guide customers toward first-time compliance by breaking down complexity into approachable steps, reducing friction, and accelerating their journey with AI-powered experiences
- From automating repetitive tasks to surfacing intelligent insights, you’ll make it easier for companies to understand what they need to do, and help them reach compliance with confidence
- Beyond direct customer impact, your contributions will strengthen Vanta’s platform by developing reusable patterns and primitives that other teams can leverage to drive activation across their own areas
- You’ll also play a key role in enabling new business opportunities by building out patterns that support product trials, empowering prospects to try before they buy and making compliance accessible from day one
- Finally, you’ll contribute to in-app purchasing and integrations—both for Vanta’s own products and third-party offerings—so customers can manage all of their compliance needs in one place
- Compliance is complex—but with your work on the Self-Serve team, we’ll make it feel achievable
- Lead complex projects with multiple stakeholders and engineers to deliver significant impact to our business
- Set direction for critical technical surface areas, enabling us to stay ahead of continued rapid growth
- Design, develop, and own new product functionality and/or infrastructure leveraging modern frameworks and tooling (TypeScript, React, Node.js)
- 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
Our take
The security auditing process is usually very time-consuming, taking hours to complete, and it is often difficult for startups to invest time into such a process. Yet, the benefits of security accreditation are enormous, mainly as many such businesses are working globally and need ways to demonstrate security compliance to one another. Vanta works specifically with startups to help them complete and pass security audits such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
The company is a compliance portal and security monitoring platform that businesses use to assess their risk levels. Vanta carries out a pre-audit of a company's digital security and highlights areas that need to be worked on before a full analysis of all threats is carried out. Other businesses such as Datadog or PagerDuty offer similar security monitoring services, but Vanta monitors its customers throughout the year, allowing any issues to be identified and addressed early on.
Vanta's latest $150M raise, boosting its valuation to $4.15B, highlights the company's rapid growth and strong market position. With AI-driven automation, expanding government partnerships, and strategic acquisitions on the horizon, Vanta is scaling quickly while solving real customer problems. Backed by a talented leadership team and a growing customer base, the company looks set to continue its upward trajectory and build a lasting, sustainable business.
