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.\nWe are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Product Platform org - the group that powers product development across Vanta by building the shared foundations that every engineering team builds on top of. This hire will join one of two closely-aligned teams within the org, each working on foundational challenges with company-wide impact.\nApplication Primitives is responsible for the shared, customer-facing platform components that product teams implement across the product: examples include comments, notifications platform, event log infrastructure, and agentic audit trails. This team sits at the intersection of platform and product - not pure infrastructure, not pure product - building the reusable building blocks that let other teams ship faster and more consistently.\nLibraries & Foundations is a brand-new team that owns Vanta's internal engineering libraries and golden-path patterns. Sitting between core platform and product platform in the stack, this team builds the TypeScript-first abstractions and shared foundations that all Vanta engineers build on top of - including event-driven architecture libraries, code quality tooling, and test frameworks.\nYou'll be evaluated for both teams based on your background and interests, and the decision on team placement will reflect where your skills and passions are the strongest fit.\nVisit our Vanta Engineering Blog to learn more about what our team is working on! \nWhat you’ll do as a Senior Software Engineer, Product Platform at Vanta:\nDesign and build high-quality, scalable systems and shared libraries that multiple engineering teams depend on - whether that's shared customer-facing components (Applications Primitives) or internal abstractions (Libraries & Foundations)\n\nPartner deeply with product engineering teams to understand their needs and translate them into clean, well-documented APIs and services\n\nDrive technical decisions and influence architecture across team boundaries, with a focus on developer experience and platform scalability\n\nDefine and uphold engineering standards for shared components, ensuring consistency, performance, and security across the systems you own\n\nParticipate actively in code review, design discussions, and technical planning - raising the engineering quality bar for your team and beyond\n\nWrite and maintain thorough documentation for the systems and libraries you build, enabling engineers across the org to use and contribute to them\n\nContribute to building Vanta's engineering culture as we scale\n\nHow to be successful in this role:\nIndustry experience in backend or fullstack software engineering, with a focus on platform, shared infrastructure, or developer-facing systems\n\nExperience building shared APIs, services, or platform components used by multiple engineering teams - a platform mindset is critical\n\nFamiliarity with distributed systems, event-driven architecture, or message queue systems (Kafka, SQS, pub/sub)\n\nExcellent communication skills - able to work cross-functionally with engineering, product, and design stakeholders, and to clearly articulate technical trade-offs\n\nTrack record of shipping high-quality, maintainable code with sound judgment on architectural decisions\n\nOpen to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.\n\nWhat you can expect as a Vanta’n:\nIndustry-competitive salary and equity\n\n100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage\n\nPension contribution\n\n16 weeks paid Parental Leave for all new parents\n\nHealth & wellness stipend\n\nRemote workspace, internet, and cellphone stipend\n\nFlexible work hours and location\n\n21 days of Vacation Time and 80 hours of Sick Leave\n\n11 company-paid holidays\n\nVirtual team building activities, lunch and learns, and other company-wide events!\n\nOffices in SF, NYC, London, Dublin, Tel Aviv, and Sydney\n\nTo provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base pay ranges for all US-based job postings regardless of state. We set standard base pay ranges for all roles based on function, level, and country location, benchmarked against similar-stage growth companies. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors and may vary based on candidate location, skills, depth of work experience, and relevant licenses/credentials.\nAt Vanta, we are committed to hiring diverse talent of different backgrounds and as such, it is important to us to provide an inclusive work environment for all. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender identity, age, religion, sexual orientation, veteran or disability status, or any other protected class. As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage and welcome people of all backgrounds to apply.\nAbout Vanta\nWe 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.\nNow 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.\nReferral Instructions\nIf you are being referred for the role, please contact that person to apply on your behalf.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6122,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible schedule","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Security Compliance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-11T19:17:33Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":32,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.719,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":85,"expected_fill_days":61,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/vanta-senior-software-engineer-product-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/vanta-senior-software-engineer-product-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T00:57:49Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1685,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4519},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4519"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvanta-senior-software-engineer-product-platform"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fvanta-senior-software-engineer-product-platform"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fvanta-senior-software-engineer-product-platform"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/vanta-senior-software-engineer-product-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvanta-senior-software-engineer-product-platform"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":52304}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"vanta.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":52304},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
