Senior Software Engineer, Vanta for Government

About the Role

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.  As a Senior Software Engineer on the Vanta for Government team, you'll set the technical foundation for Vanta's expansion into the public sector: designing the systems, patterns, and architecture that will power compliance programs from the ground up for government vendors and agencies. The Vanta for Government team is building and evolving Vanta's AI-powered platform for government vendors, federal agencies, and State, Local, and Education (SLED) organizations. Our mission is to make government compliance not easy, but easier: helping organizations automate the heavy lifting across complex frameworks like FedRAMP, CMMC, and NIST, strengthen their security posture, and support mission-critical work with greater confidence. You’ll work directly alongside early design partners to shape new capabilities in real time. 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.
