Senior Fullstack Engineer, Vendor Monitoring Data

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.

The Vendor Monitoring Data team focuses on gathering external data and conducting risk analysis as part of Vanta's Vendor Risk Management (VRM) product. Our work provides comprehensive insights that help customers mitigate third-party risks effectively.

As a Senior Fullstack Engineer, you'll drive complex projects across our technical stack while mentoring our talented engineering team. This role offers a unique opportunity to delve into a hyper-focused subject area: external attack surface scanning. You'll tackle unique technical challenges and contribute directly to Vanta's impact by helping customers continuously and comprehensively monitor risks across their vendor supply chain.

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 contribute to a rapidly-scaling company.
