vanta - Staff Software Engineer, Program Structure & Trust
Responsibilities
• 10+ years of deep backend engineering experience with a track record of leading complex, multi-quarter technical initiatives in fast-paced, product-focused environments • Designed platform abstractions that absorbed messy, conflicting enterprise requirements across a diverse customer base — you've solved for the general case, not the loudest customer request • A track record of shipping in stages: you've moved large, structurally complex problems forward incrementally, with each phase standing on its own, without getting ahead of what customers and the product can absorb • A history of operating effectively across squads and teams you don't own — alignment built through technical clarity and credibility, not org chart proximity • Deep familiarity with enterprise architectural patterns: tenancy models, role-based access control, data isolation, scoped permissions, cross-tenant operations, and access boundary design • Strong communication skills — you make complex systems legible to engineering leadership, product partners, and customer-facing stakeholders, in writing and in the room • Data residency or GovCloud exposure is a plus; the right person ramps on this in a quarter once the core structural problems are in hand • Open to using AI to amplify your skills and strengthen your work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact. • What you can expect as a Vanta’n: • Industry-competitive salary and equity • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% of employee-only benefit premiums covered for most medical plans • 16 weeks paid Parental Leave for all new parents • Health & wellness stipend • Remote workspace, internet, and cellphone stipend • Commuter benefits for team members who report to the SF and NYC office
