About the role

Senior Fullstack Engineer responsible for owning architecture, APIs, and cross-service integration for Vanta's Authoring Experience team, enabling scalable customer-facing products and using AI to accelerate development.

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.

Qualifications

  • 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.
  • Experience rolling out or deprecating major systems safely at scale.
  • Strong written design communication and demonstrated mentorship; you multiply the engineers around you.
  • 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.
