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. We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our Frontend Platform team. This team’s mission is to build tooling for Vanta’s engineers to easily ship and maintain quality and performant frontend experiences that are resilient to changing business needs. By focusing on fast build speeds, reliable testing, robust performance monitoring, and solid modularity in our codebase, this team helps lay the foundation for all engineers to contribute better code, faster. Our frontend infrastructure and tooling need to stay ahead of exponential growth in our customer base. As a Senior Software Engineer at Vanta, you’ll be responsible for setting technical direction to provide a strong foundation for our frontend stack and enable our infrastructure to scale with our business. You will also drive complex projects across our technical stack and mentor our talented engineering team. Your past experience will be leveraged to enable and accelerate Vanta’s growth. With a frontend focus, you will tackle challenging and highly impactful frontend and full-stack challenges that have company-wide impact. You and your team 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 build system, integrating accessibility tooling, improving application performance, and modularizing our frontend libraries and applications.
