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 Product Platform - Collaboration team, you'll build user-facing products and reusable platform components that make it seamless for Vanta customers to collaborate and complete GRC and trust management tasks.
The Collaboration team empowers Vanta customers and internal engineering teams alike.

Our work directly enables Vanta's upmarket growth and helps customers replace fragmented workflows across tools like Slack, Google Sheets, and Jira with seamless in-app experiences.
You'll partner closely with engineers across Vanta to design APIs and UI components that are powerful yet genuinely easy to integrate. This role offers the unique opportunity to deliver customer value while building foundational platforms that accelerate every product team at Vanta.

About Vanta
We started in 2018, in the wake of several high-profile data breaches. Online security was only becoming more important, but we knew firsthand how hard it could be for fast-growing companies to invest the time and manpower it takes to build a solid security foundation. Vanta was inspired by a vision to restore trust in internet businesses by enabling companies to improve and prove their security. From our early days automating security monitoring for compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 to creating the world's leading Trust Management Platform, our vision remains unchanged.
Now more than ever, making security continuous—not just a point-in-time check— is essential. Thousands of companies rely on Vanta to build, maintain and demonstrate their trust— all in a way that's real-time and transparent.
