Senior Software Engineer, Trust and Third Party Risk Management
WFA Digital Insight
Vanta’s Trust and Third‑Party Risk Management (TPRM) group is tackling a real pain point for enterprises: keeping vendor risk visible and manageable without drowning in spreadsheets. The senior engineer you’ll read about isn’t just adding another line item to a product backlog; they own the end‑to‑end experience of onboarding, lifecycle tracking, and continuous monitoring for thousands of vendors. What makes this role distinct is the blend of full‑stack craftsmanship and data‑layer design, plus a clear invitation to experiment with AI agents that can surface risk insights automatically. Candidates will work side‑by‑side with product designers and security practitioners, meaning technical decisions have immediate customer impact. If you thrive on turning complex data models into intuitive interfaces while shaping a platform that directly reduces organizational risk, Vanta’s remote‑first culture gives you the flexibility to do it from anywhere in the U.S.
