About the role

Senior Software Engineer on the Vanta for Government team building and expanding Vanta's AI-powered platform for government vendors, federal agencies, and SLED organizations, focusing on compliance programs and government-specific workflows.

Responsibilities

  • - Lead complex projects with multiple stakeholders and engineers to deliver significant impact to our government product line, designing systems that adapt Vanta's core compliance platform to meet the demands of federal agencies, government vendors, and SLED organizations
  • - Lead the design and build of net-new product capabilities — including core compliance workflow features that don't yet exist in Vanta's product today — working alongside early design partners to validate and iterate as requirements evolve
  • - Partner with adjacent engineering teams on shared infrastructure and tagging systems that underpin government-specific compliance workflows, building on existing platform investments rather than starting from scratch
  • - Drive technical initiatives across engineering, product, and go-to-market, translating ambiguous early-stage requirements into durable, scalable solutions
  • - Contribute to building Vanta’s engineering culture as we grow

Qualifications

  • - 5+ years of industry experience
  • - Strong systems thinking and platform architecture skills: you design for reuse, scalability, and long-term maintainability, and naturally think in terms of abstractions and patterns
  • - Experience in highly regulated industries such as fintech or healthcare; FedRAMP or government domain experience is a plus, but not required
  • - Comfortable operating in early-stage, 0→1 environments where requirements evolve as you learn from customers and technical decisions carry real business consequences
  • - A strong product mindset: you understand that shipping matters, can prioritize against real deadlines, and balance technical rigor with delivery velocity
  • - 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
