About the 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. 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.

Sequence work across teams and use measures such as conversion, activation, time to value, retention, and expansion to learn what drives the greatest impact. - Give engineers ownership of important work and coach them through scope, technical choices, and collaboration with partners. - Own technical direction for major Growth product and platform domains, making clear tradeoffs between customer value, delivery speed, reliability, and long-term flexibility. - Partner with Product, Design, Customer Success, Sales, and other engineering teams to connect customer needs to sound technical solutions. - Clarify decisions and dependencies across teams, resolve disagreements, and communicate the technical approach so others can build on it. How to be successful in this role: - Have demonstrated Staff-level technical leadership by turning ambiguous goals into shipped, adopted results across multiple teams. Show the technical decisions you owned, your hands-on contribution, and how the work continued to deliver value. - Bring strong product judgment and experience building customer-facing SaaS products, ideally across growth, onboarding, activation, or self-service journeys. - Use customer insight and quantitative signals to assess product outcomes and guide iteration. - Develop oth
