Vanta Tests enable customers to continuously track their compliance and security posture, save valuable time managing GRC programs, and generate critical audit evidence effortlessly. You’ll operate at the intersection of platform infrastructure and user experience. Exciting and ambitious opportunities include:
- Building our next generation of Automated Tests
- Enhancing the customization and visibility of our monitoring features across inputs, logic, and results
- Integrating cutting edge LLM tools and AI agents into the full Tests lifecycle - from creation to remediation

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Backend Engineer Jobs at Vanta Jobs
Align your portfolio to compliance infrastructure
Vanta's backend work centers on security automation, evidence collection pipelines, and integrations with third-party SaaS tools. Tailor your portfolio and resume to show systems-level experience with APIs, data ingestion, or audit workflows before you apply.
Target Vanta's compliance-adjacent backend roles
Backend openings tied to integrations, data pipelines, or security monitoring align most directly with Vanta's core product. These teams are actively hiring and more likely to have established sponsorship workflows than newer or experimental functions.
Ask about the LCA filing timeline during offer negotiation
Your employer must file a Labor Condition Application with DOL before submitting your H-1B petition. Confirming the LCA is in progress before your start date protects you from gaps if USCIS processing runs longer than expected.
Use Migrate Mate to filter Vanta's open backend roles
Sponsorship-eligible Backend Engineer positions at Vanta aren't always labeled clearly on general job boards. Use Migrate Mate to filter Vanta's live openings by visa type so you're only applying to roles where sponsorship is confirmed.
Prepare for technical rounds covering distributed systems
Vanta's backend interviews typically assess experience with scalable system design, database performance, and service reliability. Practicing distributed systems design questions and reviewing your experience with cloud-native architectures will put you in a stronger position heading into later rounds.
