Description For Staff Software Engineer, Product 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 on the Product Platform team, you'll play a crucial role in enabling Vanta teams to efficiently build products and experiences for customers. The position offers a unique opportunity to work on full-stack challenges with company-wide impact, including creating foundations for fine-grained authorization and centralized task feeds.

The role combines technical leadership with hands-on development, requiring both strategic thinking and practical implementation skills. You'll be working with a kind and talented team, where prior security experience is valued but not mandatory. The company has shown strong product-market fit and is growing rapidly, offering significant opportunities for career growth.

Your responsibilities will span from leading complex multi-stakeholder projects to mentoring junior team members, while maintaining a focus on scalability and security best practices. The position offers competitive compensation ($238K-$280K), comprehensive benefits, and the flexibility of remote work. Vanta's platform processes tens of millions of API calls daily and monitors security for thousands of companies, making this an exciting opportunity to work on large-scale, impactful systems.

The ideal candidate will bring 8+ years of full-stack development experience, with a track record of leading large technical projects and building enterprise-grade SaaS platforms. You'll be joining a company that values diversity, maintains a strong engineering culture, and is committed to restoring trust in internet businesses through innovative security solutions.
