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.
Our Senior Software Engineers lead and mentor engineers, delivering high-value products for our customers and infrastructure that enables our business to scale.
Vanta’s product monitors the security posture for thousands of companies, pulling tens of millions of API calls of data per day, pushing information from hundreds of thousands of laptop agents, and running tests against that data continuously to identify potential security threats. Our infrastructure and tooling need to stay ahead of exponential growth in our customer base. As a Senior Software Engineer at Vanta, you’ll be responsible for setting technical direction to provide a strong foundation for our infrastructure to scale with our business. You will also drive complex projects across our technical stack and mentor our talented engineering team. Your past experience will be leveraged to enable and accelerate Vanta’s growth.

What you’ll do as a Senior Software Engineer on the Identity team at Vanta:
As Vanta expands its agentic capabilities across surfaces like MCP, CLI, and the Vanta Agent, the Identity team is at the center of a new set of problems: defining what it means for an agent to act as a user's proxy, enforcing consistent permission checks across every invocation surface, and building an attribution model that makes agent-assisted actions auditable and trustworthy. You'll help design the identity primitives that make autonomous agent behavior safe and governable at scale.
You will also:
- Lead complex projects with multiple stakeholders and engineers to enable our business and team to scale
- Collaborate with Security to ensure Vanta's platform implements best practices for customer data
- Support design reviews, communicate constraints, and help engineers make the right trade-offs
- Act as a cultural beacon, setting an example for effective, collaborative engineering and helping mentor junior team members
- Make effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation
- Drive initiatives to increase operational posture and execution quality across the engineering organization

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.
