At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. 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. Vanta’s team and technology surface are growing quickly, and it’s essential that we invest in the right abstractions and systems to enable us to scale with our business. Our business has found incredible product-market fit and has monetized effectively since the day we signed our first customer. We’re growing at a blistering pace, which presents career-defining opportunities for engineers to accelerate their growth and to contribute to a rapidly-scaling company. As a Principal Software Engineer, you’ll identify key engineering wide, org-level strategic technical initiatives and set the tone for overall engineering excellence and culture. This role focuses on our Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) product, which helps customers scale their GRC programs with streamlined workflows, AI, and continuous control monitoring. We are revolutionizing the way customers operate their programs through collaboration, audit experience, personnel compliance, reporting and IT risk.
