Description For Staff Software Engineer, Core Platform

Vanta is a rapidly growing company focused on securing the internet and protecting consumer data through continuous security monitoring and verification. As a Staff Software Engineer in the Core Platform team, you'll play a crucial role in building solid infrastructure foundations and high-leverage developer tools that enable Vanta's engineering teams to create and improve high-quality products efficiently.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to work on strategic technical initiatives that impact the entire engineering team while contributing to a company that has shown strong product-market fit since its inception in 2018. You'll be responsible for leading large technical projects, improving developer experience, and setting the standard for engineering excellence.

The role combines technical leadership with hands-on development, using modern technologies like TypeScript, Terraform, and Node.js. You'll be working in a kind and talented team environment where prior security experience is valued but not required. The position offers competitive compensation ($238K-$280K), comprehensive benefits, and the flexibility of remote work.

What makes this role particularly appealing is the opportunity to shape the technical direction of a rapidly scaling company while working on meaningful security and compliance solutions. You'll be part of a company that has already gained the trust of thousands of customers and continues to expand its Trust Management Platform. The role offers both technical challenges and leadership opportunities, making it ideal for experienced engineers looking to make a significant impact.
