Description For Software Engineer, Backend

Vanta is a rapidly growing company focused on securing the internet and protecting consumer data through continuous security monitoring and verification. As a Backend Software Engineer, you'll play a crucial role in scaling our product and infrastructure. The position offers an opportunity to work on complex technical challenges while contributing to a mission-driven organization that has achieved strong product-market fit.

The role involves designing and implementing CI/CD systems, modernizing testing infrastructure, and solving scalability challenges. You'll be working with a kind and talented team, where prior security experience is valued but not required.

Vanta started in 2018 in response to high-profile data breaches, creating solutions for compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. They've evolved into a leading Trust Management Platform, serving thousands of companies. The position offers competitive compensation ($146,000 - $172,000), comprehensive benefits, and flexible work arrangements.

This role is perfect for engineers who want to accelerate their growth in a fast-scaling environment while contributing to meaningful security solutions.
