Senior Software Engineer, Risk Management

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 Vanta's TPRM team, you'll build the full-stack product experiences and underlying data infrastructure that help enterprises manage vendor risk at scale — working across teams focused on vendor lifecycle management and vendor monitoring.

Vanta's TPRM (Third-Party Risk Management) team is building the products that make vendor risk management seamless for security and procurement teams. From vendor onboarding and lifecycle management to continuous monitoring and procurement integrations, we're creating the platform that helps Vanta customers understand, track, and mitigate third-party risk — a fast-growing, business-critical capability for modern enterprises.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll contribute as a core member of either the Vendor Lifecycle or Vendor Monitoring Experience team. You'll design and ship full-stack features that directly shape how customers manage vendor relationships, collaborate with product and design partners, and bring real engineering ownership to a product area that's growing quickly within Vanta.

What you’ll do as a Senior Software Engineer at Vanta:

• Design, build, and maintain full-stack features across the TPRM product surface, including vendor onboarding, lifecycle management, and monitoring workflows

• Contribute to the vendor data model and core platform abstractions that power TPRM products

• Write clean, well-tested code and actively participate in code reviews; uphold engineering quality standards

• Engage in architecture discussions and contribute to technical decision-making within your team

• Collaborate with product, design, and other engineering teams to deliver high-quality, customer-facing features with real business impact

How to be successful in this role:

• Professional software engineering experience with full-stack or product-focused development

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript/React (front-end) or a backend language such as Node.js

• Experience building and shipping production-quality web applications in a fast-paced environment

• Solid understanding of databases and REST or GraphQL API design

• Collaborative approach to engineering; ability to partner across product, design, and engineering to deliver results

• Nice to have: experience building with AI agents, LLM APIs (OpenAI/Anthropic), or eval frameworks — especially relevant for Vendor Lifecycle team roles

• 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.

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.
