Staff Software Engineer, Foundations Data Platform - CAN
Vanta — Remote - Canada
Posted 2026-08-24
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 Staff Software Engineer on the Automation - Foundations team, you will lead the re-platforming of the data layer underneath Vanta’s entire compliance product.
Foundations ingests tens of thousands of security and compliance resources per second from across our customer’s environments. We store the data, catalog it, make it queryable, and turn it into evidence that has to survive a real SOC 2 or FedRAMP audit.
We are in the middle of moving our platform from a monolithic Mongo-centric architecture to a Kafka data pipeline that decouples data fetching from processing and is backed by Postgres and S3. Our biggest challenges are around supporting this migration at scale in a domain that requires correctness and while supporting an evolving set of requirements for upcoming products.
