Who you are

- Strong proficiency in TypeScript/React (front-end) or a backend language such as Node.js
- Experience building and shipping production-quality web applications in a fast-paced environment
- Solid understanding of databases and REST or GraphQL API design
- Collaborative approach to engineering; ability to partner across product, design, and engineering to deliver results

What the job involves
- As a Senior Software Engineer on Vanta's Trust TPRM team, you'll build the full-stack product experiences and underlying data infrastructure that help enterprises manage vendor risk at scale — working across teams focused on vendor lifecycle management and vendor monitoring
- Vanta's Trust TPRM (Third-Party Risk Management) team is building the products that make vendor risk management seamless for security and procurement teams
- From vendor onboarding and lifecycle management to continuous monitoring and procurement integrations, we're creating the platform that helps Vanta customers understand, track, and mitigate third-party risk — a fast-growing, business-critical capability for modern enterprises
- As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll contribute as a core member of either the Vendor Lifecycle or Vendor Monitoring Experience team
- You'll design and ship full-stack features that directly shape how customers manage vendor relationships, collaborate with product and design partners, and bring real engineering ownership to a product area that's growing quickly within Vanta
- Design, build, and maintain full-stack features across the TPRM product surface, including vendor onboarding, lifecycle management, and monitoring workflows
- Contribute to the vendor data model and core platform abstractions that power TPRM products
- Write clean, well-tested code and actively participate in code reviews; uphold engineering quality standards
- Engage in architecture discussions and contribute to technical decision-making within your team
- Collaborate with product, design, and other engineering teams to deliver high-quality, customer-facing features with real business impact
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.
