Senior Forward Deployed Software Engineer

About this role

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 Forward Deployed Software Engineer (FDE) at Vanta, you’ll sit at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success. You’ll work directly with customers to understand their needs, extend Vanta’s product and platform to solve real problems, and ensure successful adoption. You’ll support unique customer requirements across integrations, data transformations, and reporting outcomes — combining strong software and systems engineering fundamentals with empathy for customer challenges and the ability to move quickly from concept to solution.


FDEs collaborate heavily with Solution Architects and internal product engineering teams to bridge customer requirements with Vanta’s technical capabilities. You’ll act as a technical partner and drive software delivery, influence product direction through customer insights, and ensure our technology delivers wins and outcomes for our customers.


Our business has found incredible product–market fit and has monetized effectively since the day we signed our first customer. We’re growing at a blistering pace, which presents career-defining opportunities for engineers to accelerate their growth and to contribute to a rapidly-scaling company.


Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it. We’d love for you to join us!
