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.
Vanta’s Infrastructure & Security team provides a platform that powers the scalability, performance, and reliability of Vanta’s core systems. As our customer base continues to grow rapidly, we need infrastructure that scales with us without compromising speed or developer productivity. You’ll work on distributed systems, infrastructure primitives, and security enhancements that enable our engineers to ship reliable software at scale.
This team has a wide breadth of impact across all of product engineering. Our work touches every corner of product engineering and compounds in value; we make it easier for engineers to diagnose bugs, build features, and deliver value to customers quickly and safely.
Vanta engineers design and develop new product functionality and infrastructure leveraging modern frameworks and tooling, including TypeScript, React, Node.js, MongoDB, Github Actions, and various AWS services such as Fargate and ECS.
We have a kind, talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have succeeded here without it. If you're excited to work at the intersection of infrastructure and security, we’d love to meet you.

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.

Vanta automates the complex and time-consuming process of SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PCI, and GDPR compliance certification. Automate your security monitoring in weeks instead of months.
