Senior Software Engineer, Developer Experience

Vanta

About The Position

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 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. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it. We’d love for you to join us!
