Vanta is a company dedicated to helping businesses earn and prove trust through continuous security monitoring. As a Senior Software Engineer on the GTM Engineering team, you will design and ship internal tools that enhance the efficiency of go-to-market teams, while owning the full product lifecycle and collaborating closely with various departments to identify and address user needs.
Responsibilities:
- Build and ship applications that accelerate Vanta's GTM efforts: from AI-powered workflows that automate prospecting and account research to internal tools that improve rep productivity and pipeline velocity
- Own the full product lifecycle: prototype, iterate, ship, and maintain solutions that solve real-world customer and internal workflow problems
- Partner closely with Sales, Technical Success, and Revenue Operations to identify high-leverage opportunities, understand user needs, and build for them
- Apply AI and modern technologies in novel ways to systematize and automate GTM workflows (e.g., pipeline generation, deal preparation, renewal velocity, scoring and routing)
- Design, develop, and maintain internal-facing web applications and AI-driven agents using a mix of frameworks, APIs, and code (Python, TypeScript, SQL)
- Ship reliable, maintainable systems with technical documentation, monitoring, and testing frameworks to ensure adoption and observability
- Translate learnings from customer-facing work into feedback for product and research teams to inform broader product development
- Evaluate and implement new technologies, orchestration tools, and AI platforms with a clear 'build vs. buy' perspective
Requirements:
- 7+ years of software engineering experience with a strong focus on building and shipping full-stack applications
- Former founder or early engineer at a startup (0–50 employees): you've built products from the ground up, navigated ambiguity, and owned outcomes in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment
- Deep technical skill set: proficiency in modern programming languages (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript), experience with web frameworks (React, Node.js), and strong SQL skills
- Understanding of how AI and automation can be applied to business workflows: experience with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, or workflow automation tools is a strong plus
- Experience working closely with non-technical stakeholders (Sales, Operations, Customer Success) to translate business needs into technical requirements and ship impactful solutions
- Product mindset: you care about user experience, business impact, and building systems that people love to use, not just technical elegance
- Demonstrated ability to move quickly from prototype to production, make effective tradeoffs, and ship incrementally
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain technical decisions to business stakeholders and executive leadership
- Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future employer sponsorship
- Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact
- Experience with GTM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot, Gong, workflow automation tools like Workato or n8n) or modern data stack tools (Snowflake, dbt)
