At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust.

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
- Scaling infrastructure to match Vanta’s rapidly growing customer base (the Tests product is the most used feature in our platform!)

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Backend Software Engineer Jobs at Vanta Jobs
Align your stack with Vanta's backend
Vanta's platform handles continuous security monitoring and compliance automation, so backend engineers working with Go, Python, or TypeScript in distributed systems contexts are well-positioned. Tailor your resume to reflect reliability, scalability, and data pipeline work specifically.
Confirm E-Verify enrollment before applying
Most tech companies of Vanta's size are required to use E-Verify for employment eligibility verification. Check E-Verify's employer search tool to confirm enrollment before accepting an offer, since this affects your OPT STEM extension eligibility timeline.
Request H-1B cap-subject timing in your offer stage
If you're transitioning from F-1 OPT to H-1B, confirm with your Vanta recruiter whether the role will support a cap-subject petition for the next lottery cycle. Get written clarity before your OPT expiration window closes, since the 60-day grace period doesn't pause once employment ends.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open backend roles
Vanta posts backend engineering positions across seniority levels and teams. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for Backend Software Engineer roles at Vanta that are open to visa sponsorship, saving you from manually screening job listings that exclude international candidates.
Prepare for a technical loop that tests systems design
Vanta's backend interviews emphasize distributed systems, API design, and infrastructure challenges tied to compliance data at scale. Reviewing their engineering blog before your interview loop helps you speak directly to the technical problems their team is actively solving.
Understand how PERM affects long-term planning
EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship requires your employer to run a DOL PERM labor certification, which typically takes 12 to 18 months before USCIS even receives the I-140. If permanent residence is your goal, raise this with Vanta's People team early in the offer process, not after you've started.

Find Backend Software Engineer at Vanta JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Vanta sponsor H-1B visas for Backend Software Engineers?
Yes, Vanta sponsors H-1B visas for Backend Software Engineers. The company has a documented history of filing H-1B petitions for technical roles, and backend engineering positions qualify as specialty occupations under USCIS standards given their degree requirements in computer science or a related field. Confirm sponsorship intent with the recruiter early in the process, since not every open role is guaranteed to include it.
How do I apply for Backend Software Engineer jobs at Vanta?
Applications go through Vanta's careers page, where backend engineering roles are listed by team and seniority level. You can also browse verified sponsorship-eligible positions at Vanta through Migrate Mate, which filters roles by visa type so you're not wasting time on listings that exclude international candidates. Tailor your application to Vanta's compliance and security infrastructure context.
Which visa types does Vanta commonly use for Backend Software Engineers?
Vanta sponsors H-1B, TN, and F-1 OPT and CPT for Backend Software Engineers, and also supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways for longer-term employment. F-1 candidates on OPT should confirm STEM extension eligibility with Vanta's HR team, since the 24-month STEM extension requires E-Verify enrollment by the employer.
What qualifications does Vanta expect for Backend Software Engineer roles?
Vanta typically looks for backend engineers with professional experience in Go, Python, or TypeScript, along with demonstrated work on distributed systems, APIs, or data infrastructure. For H-1B and EB sponsorship, USCIS requires the role to demand at minimum a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field, so your credentials and job description both need to clearly reflect that specialization.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take when joining Vanta?
H-1B cap-subject petitions are filed in April with an October 1 start date, so timing your offer around that window matters. Premium processing through USCIS can reduce the adjudication period to about 15 business days. For EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship, expect a DOL PERM labor certification process of 12 to 18 months before USCIS receives the immigrant petition.
