At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it.
About the job:
Vanta’s Developer Experience team builds the tools engineers use every day to bring ideas to production rapidly and reliably. You’ll empower other Vanta engineers to leverage cutting-edge technologies and best practices to make Vanta more performant and scalable on a platform level. Example projects include modernizing our CI/CD pipelines, introducing new test frameworks, launching AI-powered dev tools, and scaling developer environments to support a growing engineering team.
This team has a wide breadth of impact across all of product engineering. The work we do compounds in value by making it easier for engineers to diagnose and solve bugs, streamline workflows, and ship value to our customers quickly and safely.
Vanta engineers design and develop new product functionality and infrastructure leveraging modern frameworks and tooling, including TypeScript, React, Node.js, MongoDB, Github Actions, and various AWS services such as Fargate and ECS.

About Vanta
We started in 2018, in the wake of several high-profile data breaches. Online security was only becoming more important, but we knew firsthand how hard it could be for fast-growing companies to invest the time and manpower it takes to build a solid security foundation. Vanta was inspired by a vision to restore trust in internet businesses by enabling companies to improve and prove their security.From our early days automating security monitoring for compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 to creating the world’s leading Trust Management Platform, our vision remains unchanged.
Now more than ever, making security continuous—not just a point-in-time check— is essential. Thousands of companies rely on Vanta to build, maintain and demonstrate their trust— all in a way that’s real-time and transparent.
