Staff Software Engineer, Privacy

Vanta, established in 2018, is revolutionizing internet security through its Trust Management Platform. As the first engineering hire on the Privacy team in London, you'll play a pivotal role in establishing Vanta's engineering presence in Europe. The role combines technical leadership with hands-on development, focusing on privacy features that enhance Vanta's value proposition. You'll work with TypeScript, React, and Node.js to build scalable solutions while leading large technical projects and mentoring team members.

The position offers an opportunity to shape the technical direction of a rapidly growing company that has achieved strong product-market fit. You'll be responsible for identifying strategic technical initiatives, making crucial architectural decisions, and setting high standards for engineering excellence. The role requires a blend of technical expertise, leadership skills, and business acumen to successfully navigate the challenges of a scaling startup.

Vanta offers a comprehensive benefits package, including competitive compensation, full healthcare coverage, generous parental leave, and flexible work arrangements. The company culture emphasizes collaboration, mentorship, and continuous learning. While security experience is valued, it's not mandatory - many successful team members joined without prior security background. This hybrid role is based in London, offering a unique opportunity to help establish and grow Vanta's European engineering presence while contributing to the company's mission of securing the internet and protecting consumer data.
