Senior II Fullstack Engineer, Emerging Products & Product Platform

About Vanta

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 business has found incredible product-market fit and has monetized effectively since the day we signed our first customer. We're growing at a blistering pace, which presents career-defining opportunities for engineers to accelerate their growth and to contribute to a rapidly-scaling company.

Role Overview

We are hiring staff or tech lead equivalent fullstack Product Engineers to build emerging products and to contribute to efforts to build features used across our Product Platform. Applications through this link put you into consideration for the following teams:

• Activation: Responsible for rethinking the downmarket audit experience in the AI era. We leverage applied AI to automate and personalize the customer journey — reducing the time and effort it takes for customers to reach their compliance goals. Rather than optimizing for engagement alone, we focus on driving real outcomes: getting customers audit-ready, faster. Our work spans the full stack, requires deep leveraging of AI, and cuts across team and product boundaries. We're looking for engineers who are comfortable operating in a cross-functional, high-ownership environment and can drive impact beyond their immediate scope.
• Third Party Risk Management (TPRM): This product was designed to provide software buyers with tools to evaluate the security of their vendors and partners by inventorying vendors, prioritizing risks, automating security reviews and remediating findings. TPRM presents a massive opportunity for Vanta - representing a market of $5-$10B in ARR and a CAGR of 10.8% driven by secular tailwinds in the industry that requires more focussed and deeper scrutiny of the company’s supply chain.

About Vanta (Company Background)

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.
