Backend Senior Software Engineer, Identity

The Identity team at Vanta is building the critical foundation that powers our entire security platform as we scale to serve enterprise customers. Our team focuses on two core pillars: authentication systems that provide secure access to our platform, and authorization frameworks that enable fine-grained permission controls. As we expand upmarket, we're facing interesting challenges that require thoughtful evolution of our identity infrastructure. In this role, you'll help design composable and extensible systems for complex user data modeling, support our evolution toward policy-based authorization, and establish clean interface contracts for identity services. You'll tackle complex challenges at the intersection of security, scalability, and user experience, while influencing how multiple engineering teams integrate with our identity platform. Your work will be fundamental to Vanta's success with enterprise customers, where robust identity management is essential to earning trust with sensitive data.
