Senior Salesforce Engineer

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 Salesforce Engineer at Vanta, you will design and build the technical systems that power our rapidly growing go-to-market organization. You'll develop scalable Salesforce solutions, architect integrations across our GTM tech stack, and partner closely with Revenue Operations to enable our Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing teams.

The Business Systems team owns the platforms and infrastructure that GTM teams rely on daily. We build and maintain Salesforce, integration workflows, data pipelines, and automation that help Vanta scale efficiently while delivering exceptional customer experiences. As Vanta continues to grow, your work will directly enable that growth by ensuring our systems can support increasing complexity and volume.

You'll bring deep technical expertise in Salesforce development—particularly Apex coding, data modeling, and system architecture—combined with strong integration skills. You'll work on challenging problems involving system performance, data integrity, complex business logic, and connecting multiple platforms. This role balances hands-on development with technical leadership, as you'll mentor teammates and contribute to technical strategy while shipping code daily.

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

• Design and develop scalable Salesforce solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, and declarative automation

• Build and maintain integrations between Salesforce and GTM tools using Workato, APIs, custom middleware, and integration best practices

• Make data architecture decisions including object modeling, relationship design, and data integrity strategies

• Partner with Product Managers and Revenue Operations stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions

• Participate in code reviews, maintain technical documentation, and contribute to development standards

• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the technical growth of the team

• Troubleshoot complex technical issues across the GTM systems landscape

• Optimize system performance, reduce technical debt, and ensure platform scalability

• Contribute to deployment processes, release planning, and technical roadmap decisions

How to be successful in this role:

• 7+ years of Salesforce development experience with strong Apex programming skills

• Expertise in Salesforce data modeling, system architecture, and designing scalable solutions

• Experience building and maintaining integrations between Salesforce and third-party systems

• Proficiency with integration platforms such as Workato, Zapier, MuleSoft, or similar tools

• JavaScript experience for building custom user interfaces and front-end functionality

• Strong understanding of Salesforce best practices including governor limits, bulkification, and design patterns

• Experience with version control (Git), deployment tools (Salesforce DX, Gearset, or similar), and CI/CD practices

• Ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues and debug across integrated systems

• Strong communication skills with ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

• Experience working with Revenue Operations, Sales Operations, or similar business teams

• Track record of technical mentorship or leadership

• Salesforce certifications (Platform Developer I/II) are a plus but not required

• Open to using AI
