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. The Foundations team sits at the heart of Vanta’s architecture and is critical to unlocking current and future Vanta products. We fetch, process, and serve the core resource and evidence data that powers Vanta. As a member of this team, you’ll work on the source-of-truth systems that enable core Vanta compliance and auditing experiences. We’re looking for a senior backend engineer who thrives on shipping quickly, solving real customer problems, and building reliable systems that scale.
