Staff Software Engineer, Growth (Self Serve)
Vanta · Remote U.S.

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.

Our Staff Software Engineers lead strategically important technical work and deliver meaningful customer and business outcomes. They pair deep technical contribution with influence across teams: clarifying ambiguous problems, setting direction, and helping others build effectively.

Vanta’s Growth group helps prospects evaluate and try Vanta, new customers reach value faster, and existing customers expand with confidence. We improve discovery, trials, onboarding, purchasing, upgrades, and renewals, including the path to a customer’s first compliance milestone. We also build the platform that lets other product teams own and improve their products’ customer journeys and growth. For customers, that means clearer next steps and less friction as their needs change. For Vanta, these experiences influence prospect-to-customer conversion, activation, time to value, retention, and expansion. Shared growth capabilities extend that impact across product areas while letting each team improve the journey it owns. We use customer feedback and product data to decide where changes will have the greatest impact.

As a Staff Software Engineer in the Growth group, you’ll turn important customer and business goals into working product and platform capabilities. You’ll own technical direction for major initiatives, shape the architecture, scope, sequence, and dependencies, and align partners on goals and tradeoffs. You’ll lead multi-team work from problem framing through launch and adoption, build foundational pieces yourself, and give other engineers meaningful ownership so the results can keep improving after your initial ships.
