Vanta Senior Fullstack Software Engineer at Vanta owning architecture and rollout of critical platform services. Build customer-facing APIs and mentor engineering team.
Responsibilities
Own the architecture and rollout strategy for critical platform services, from initial design through large-scale rollout and migration.
Set the technical bar for how we design, publish, and maintain customer-facing APIs while owning things like security, reliability, and developer experience.
Stitch together services across Vanta's platform to serve customer-facing use cases, designing clear service boundaries and partnering closely with our data-platform teams on access patterns.
Raise the written design bar: drive RFCs and decision records that make architectural decisions durable and shared across the team.
Act as a force multiplier: mentor engineers up to your own level, expand the team's review capacity, and partner with your EM on team health and culture.
Build with TypeScript and Node.js on the backend, contribute to customer-facing experiences in React, and use AI tools to accelerate development and workflows.
How to be successful in this role:
8+ years of backend development building reliable, scalable, fault-tolerant systems.
You've designed and shipped external or public product APIs: contracts, versioning, authentication, and the developer experience around them.
You think in service boundaries and system design rather than any single layer of the stack, with enough data-layer fluency to partner well with dedicated platform teams.
You're comfortable working in a modern frontend codebase (we use React); you don't need to be an expert, but building product end to end is part of the day-to-day here.
Track record driving complex, ambiguous, multi-quarter initiatives to completion, directly and through others.
