Our Software Engineers deliver high-value products for our customers, and infrastructure that enables our business to scale.

Vanta's team and technology surface are growing quickly, and it's essential that we invest in the right abstractions and systems to enable us to scale with our business. As a Software Engineer, you'll be responsible for setting technical direction to enable our product and infrastructure to scale with our business, and driving complex projects across our technical stack.. Your past experience will be leveraged to enable and accelerate Vanta's growth.

Our Senior Software Engineers lead and mentor engineers, delivering high-value products for our customers and infrastructure that enables our business to scale. Our product integrates deeply with the services that present security risk to a company, pulls and analyzes data from those sources, and surfaces potential security threats to our customers in real time with guidance to remediate them.

Our business has found incredible product-market fit and has monetized effectively since the day we signed our first customer. We're growing at a blistering pace, which presents career-defining opportunities for engineers to accelerate their growth and to contribute to a rapidly-scaling company.

As a Software Engineer on the Expansion Team, you'll play a central role in shaping Vanta's self-serve and product-led growth motion. Instead of working horizontally across compliance workflows, this team focuses on the full post-activation lifecycle-driving retention, expansion, and revenue automation across the product.

You'll build the core systems that power Vanta's purchasing, trial, and renewal experiences. This includes creating seamless checkout flows, self-serve upgrade paths, and intuitive renewal pages, as well as integrating with our evolving billing infrastructure. You'll also develop the platform that enables "try before you buy" experiences across Vanta, giving prospects hands-on access and empowering other product teams to plug into a unified trials framework.

Your work will have direct, measurable business impact-unlocking self-serve revenue, reducing operational friction, and allowing sales teams to focus on upmarket opportunities. By shaping how customers evaluate, purchase, and expand with Vanta, you'll help build the foundation of a scalable PLG engine and meaningfully influence Vanta's growth trajectory.
