Senior Fullstack Engineer, Vendor 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. 

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.
