Software Engineer

Who you are

• 6+ years of full-stack development building reliable, scalable, fault-tolerant systems
• Platform and API design: you've built APIs and reusable components others depend on, with a solid grounding in RESTful APIs, authentication protocols (OAuth, API keys, JWT), and security best practices
• Data integrations: you've built data ingestion from external systems (Cloud Providers, HRIS, Identity Providers, Code Repositories) using best practices like rate limiting, retries and idempotency, and webhooks
• Systems thinking: you design for scale, reliability, and failure modes. You look around corners, address edge cases, and proactively identify and address risk
• Collaboration: you partner with internal teams, Federal agencies employees, vendors, and Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAOs) to achieve mutual success. You incorporate their feedback into your designs, and are on a clear trajectory to broader technical ownership
• Interest in security or compliance: you're motivated by building trustworthy systems in a regulated environment
• 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
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, FISMA) and how they apply to cloud and integration environments
• Experience building or operating in a government or otherwise regulated cloud environment (e.g., AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, or GCP) — deep familiarity with one translates well to the others
• Bonus: startup or bias-for-action environments, and interest in security or compliance products

What the job involves

• Our Software Engineers build and own high-value products for our customers and the infrastructure that lets our business scale
• Vanta's team and technology surface are growing quickly, and it's essential that we invest in the right abstractions and systems to scale with our business. As a Software Engineer, you'll build and own full-stack features and platform primitives across our stack, work closely with the teams and partners who depend on what you ship, and grow into broader technical ownership. Your work will directly accelerate Vanta's growth
• 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
• The Integrations Platform team within Vanta Government Cloud mission is to power the world's largest trust automation ecosystem, enabling any person or agent to build, connect, and automate trust seamlessly
• Federal compliance is going through its biggest shift in a decade and this team builds the integration platform underneath Vanta Government Cloud that turns federal frameworks into automated, continuously monitored product experiences. This is a builder role: you'll turn federal control requirements into the platform primitives and integrations that make continuous authorization real
• We own Vanta's integration ecosystem within the US Government Cloud, which currently includes a growing set of integrations across Cloud Providers (AWS, Azure, GCP), Identity Providers, Mobile Device Management (MDM), and Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS). In this role, you'll build, own, support, and scale Vanta's Government Cloud integration operations
• You'll build upon and extend the Integrations Platform, which includes shared primitives for authentication, lifecycle, observability, and publishing so that all integrations are built on the same foundation. Our North Star is to eliminate the barrier to building integrations entirely, enabling anyone to create an integration in minutes using declarative, low-code, and no-code patterns, supercharged by AI agents
• Design, build, and own full-stack features and platform primitives that internal teams, partners, and customers build on
• Deploy, operate, support, and maintain integrations running in Vanta's Government Cloud, including monitoring, on-call / incident response, and change management within the GovCloud boundary
• Contribute to our authentication, data-ingestion, and schema-evolution services, keeping integrations with external systems secure and reliable
• Partner with federal subject-matter experts to implement and maintain continuous-monitoring detectors and automated tests, with versioned framework mappings
• Build secure, well-documented, scalable services and UI with TypeScript, React, and Node.js
• Improve performance, operational excellence, and SDLC practices within the team
• Use AI tools and workflows to accelerate development and operations
