## Description

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.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Product Platform org - the group that powers product development across Vanta by building the shared foundations that every engineering team builds on top of.

This hire will join one of two closely-aligned teams within the org, each working on foundational challenges with company-wide impact.

**Application Primitives** is responsible for the shared, customer-facing platform components that product teams implement across the product: examples include comments, notifications platform, event log infrastructure, and agentic audit trails.

**Libraries & Foundations** is a brand-new team that owns Vanta's internal engineering libraries and golden-path patterns.

You'll be evaluated for both teams based on your background and interests, and the decision on team placement will reflect where your skills and passions are the strongest fit.

**What you’ll do as a Senior Software Engineer, Product Platform at Vanta:**

- Design and build high-quality, scalable systems and shared libraries that multiple engineering teams depend on

- Partner deeply with product engineering teams to understand their needs and translate them into clean, well-documented APIs and services

- Drive technical decisions and influence architecture across team boundaries, with a focus on developer experience and platform scalability

- Define and uphold engineering standards for shared components, ensuring consistency, performance, and security across the systems you own

- Participate actively in code review, design discussions, and technical planning

- Write and maintain thorough documentation for the systems and libraries you build, enabling engineers across the org to use and contribute to them

- Contribute to building Vanta's engineering culture as we scale

**How to be successful in this role:**

- Industry experience in backend or fullstack software engineering, with a focus on platform, shared infrastructure, or developer-facing systems

- Experience building shared APIs, services, or platform components used by multiple engineering teams

- Familiarity with distributed systems, event-driven architecture, or message queue systems

- Excellent communication skills

- Track record of shipping high-quality, maintainable code with sound judgment on architectural decisions

- Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work

**What you can expect as a Vanta’n:**

- Industry-competitive salary and equity

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

- Pension contribution

- 16 weeks paid Parental Leave for all new parents

- Health & wellness stipend

- Remote workspace, internet, and cellphone stipend
