The Integrations Platform team mission is to power the world's largest trust automation ecosystem, enabling any person or agent to build, connect, and automate trust seamlessly. We own Vanta's integration ecosystem, which currently includes over 400 integrations across Cloud Providers (AWS, Azure, GCP), Identity Providers, Mobile Device Management (MDM), and Human Resources Information System (HRIS). We are focused on developing the Integration Platform. This includes creating shared primitives for authentication, lifecycle, observability, and publishing to ensure all integrations are built on the same foundation. Our North Star is to eliminate the barrier to building integrations entirely. We aim to enable anyone to create an integration in minutes using declarative, low-code, and no-code patterns, supercharged by AI Agents.

What you'll do as a Senior Software Engineer at Vanta:

• Set technical strategy and direction for critical platform surface areas, staying ahead of rapid growth.
• Design and evolve the APIs, primitives, and self-service golden paths that internal teams, partners, and customers build on.
• Own the authentication, data-ingestion, and schema-evolution primitives that keep integrations with external systems secure and reliable at scale.
• Build secure, well-documented, scalable backend services and developer tooling (including CI/CD) that propel engineering productivity.
• Drive performance, operational excellence, and SDLC best practices; make and defend buy-vs-build and one-way-door decisions.
• Act as a force multiplier: mentor and uplevel teammates, and set the design patterns the team standardizes on.
• Build with TypeScript, React, and Node.js, and use AI tools to accelerate development and workflows.

How to be successful in this role:

• 8+ years of backend development building reliable, scalable, fault-tolerant systems.
• Platform and API design: you've evolved core APIs, SDKs, and platform abstractions, with deep expertise in RESTful APIs, GraphQL, authentication protocols (OAuth, API keys, JWT), and security best practices.
• Data Integrations: you've built resilient data ingestion from external systems, including integrations with cloud providers, HRIS platforms, identity providers, and code repositories. You champion best practices such as rate limiting, retries and idempotency, webhooks, and handling schema drift.
• Systems thinking at scale: you design for scale, reliability and failure modes. You look around corners and proactively identify and address risk.
• Technical leadership and cross-team influence: you've led teams and complex projects, and influenced decisions across the organization.
• Internal Enablement and Evangelism: you build sample integrations, POCs, AI Skills, documentation, and workshops to help internal engineering teams onboard quickly to the platform.

Bonus: startup or bias-for-action environments, greenfield work, multi-region or Gov deployments, and prior experience in security or compliance products.

• Open 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.
