INTRODUCTION
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 Software Engineers deliver high-value products for our customers, and infrastructure that enables our business to scale. Vanta’s team and technology surface are growing quickly, and it’s essential that we invest in the right abstractions and systems to enable us to scale with our business.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
As a Software Engineer, you’ll be responsible for setting technical direction to enable our product and infrastructure to scale with our business, and driving complex projects across our technical stack. Your past experience will be leveraged to enable and accelerate Vanta’s growth. Our Senior Software Engineers lead and mentor engineers, delivering high-value products for our customers and infrastructure that enables our business to scale. Our product integrates deeply with the services that present security risk to a company, pulls and analyzes data from those sources, and surfaces potential security threats to our customers in real time with guidance to remediate them. Our business has found incredible product-market fit and has monetized effectively since the day we signed our first customer. We’re growing at a blistering pace, which presents career-defining opportunities for engineers to accelerate their growth and to contribute to a rapidly-scaling company.
As a Software Engineer on the Expansion Team, you’ll play a central role in shaping Vanta’s self-serve and product-led growth motion. Instead of working horizontally across compliance workflows, this team focuses on the full post-activation lifecycle—driving retention, expansion, and revenue automation across the product. You’ll build the core systems that power Vanta’s purchasing, trial, and renewal experiences. This includes creating seamless checkout flows, self-serve upgrade paths, and intuitive renewal pages, as well as integrating with our evolving billing infrastructure. You’ll also develop the platform that enables “try before you buy” experiences across Vanta, giving prospects hands-on access and empowering other product teams to plug into a unified trials framework. Your work will have direct, measurable business impact —unlocking self-serve revenue, reducing operational friction, and allowing sales teams to focus on upmarket opportunities. By shaping how customers evaluate, purchase, and expand with Vanta, you’ll help build the foundation of a scalable PLG engine and meaningfully influence Vanta’s growth trajectory.
What you’ll do as a Software Engineer at Vanta:
- Lead complex projects with multiple stakeholders and engineers to deliver significant impact to our business
- Set direction for critical technical surface areas, enabling us to stay ahead of continued rapid growth
- Design, develop, and own new product functionality and/or infrastructure leveraging modern frameworks and tooling (TypeScript, React, Node.js)
- Work with talented and kind engineers to make a significant impact on our customer base, enabling them to improve their security and prove it
- Contribute to building Vanta’s engineering culture as we grow
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Have at least 5 years of industry experience
- Have played technical leadership roles for teams or complex projects
- Have previous startup experience, or worked in an environment that prioritizes a bias for action
- Have previous experience working on greenfield projects
- Have an interest in learning about security or prior experience in the space
- Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work — demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AS A VANTA'N (US):
- Industry-competitive salary and equity
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% of employee-only benefit premiums covered for most medical plans
- 16 weeks fully-paid Parental Leave for all new parents
- Health & wellness stipend
- Remote workspace, internet, and cellphone stipend
- Commuter benefits for team members who report to the SF and NYC office
- Family planning benefits
- Matching 401(k) contribution with immediate vesting
- Flexible PTO policy, plus 80 hours of Sick Time
- 11 company-paid holidays
- Virtual team building activities, lunch and learns, and other company-wide events!
- Offices in SF, NYC, London, Dublin, Tel Aviv, and Sydney
To provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base pay ranges for all US-based job postings regardless of state. We set standard base pay ranges for all roles based on function, level, and country location, benchmarked against similar-stage growth companies. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors and may vary based on candidate location, skills, depth of work experience, and relevant licenses/credentials.
At Vanta, we are committed to hiring diverse talent of different backgrounds and as such, it is important to us to provide an inclusive work environment for all. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender identity, age, religion, sexual orientation, veteran or disability status, or any other protected class. As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage and welcome people of all backgrounds to apply.
ABOUT VANTA
We started in 2018, in the wake of several high-profile data breaches. Online security was only becoming more important, but we knew firsthand how hard it could be for fast-growing companies to invest the time and manpower it takes to build a solid security foundation. Vanta was inspired by a vision to restore trust in internet businesses by enabling companies to improve and prove their security. From our early days automating security monitoring for compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 to creating the world's leading Trust Management Platform, our vision remains unchanged. Now more than ever, making security continuous—not just a point-in-time check—is essential. Thousands of companies rely on Vanta to build, maintain and demonstrate their trust—all in a way that's real-time and transparent.

How to Get Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Fullstack Software Engineer
Target employers with consistent H-1B filing histories
Companies that have sponsored fullstack engineers in the past are far more likely to do it again. Look for employers with multiple approved LCA filings for software roles, not just a single prior petition. Past behavior is the strongest predictor of willingness.
Make your stack explicit on your resume
USCIS evaluates specialty occupation based on the specific technical requirements of the role. Listing React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and cloud infrastructure signals a degree-level position more clearly than a generic 'software engineer' title alone.
Understand the LCA before your offer stage
Your employer files a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor before your H-1B petition. It certifies the offered wage meets prevailing levels for your location and role. Ask HR where you fall in the wage tier during negotiations.
A computer science degree is not the only qualifying credential
USCIS accepts degrees in software engineering, information systems, mathematics, and related fields. Three years of specialized work experience can substitute for one year of education, so a two-year degree plus six years of experience may still qualify you.
Cap-exempt employers can sponsor you outside the H-1B lottery
Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and certain government entities are exempt from the annual H-1B cap. Fullstack engineers at these institutions can be sponsored year-round without waiting for the April lottery window to open.
Start the sponsorship conversation early in the hiring process
Many engineering teams are willing to sponsor but defer to HR, who may be unfamiliar with the process. Raising it during the offer stage, not after signing, gives the company time to engage immigration counsel and avoids delays before your start date.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Fullstack Software Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, in almost all cases. USCIS considers software engineering a specialty occupation because the role normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a directly related field. The more your job description specifies technical systems, architecture decisions, or complex problem-solving, the stronger the specialty occupation argument. Generic job postings that say 'any degree accepted' can weaken the petition, so job title and description wording matters.
What visa types are most commonly used to sponsor fullstack software engineers?
H-1B is the most common path for fullstack engineers without prior U.S. status. L-1B is used for intracompany transfers with specialized knowledge. O-1A applies to engineers with demonstrated extraordinary ability, such as open-source contributions, conference talks, or patents. Australian citizens can use the E-3, which has no lottery. Canadian and Mexican nationals may qualify under the TN visa for software engineers. Browse Migrate Mate to find roles filtered by visa type.
How does the H-1B lottery affect my chances as a senior fullstack engineer?
The lottery itself is random and doesn't favor your experience level or title. In fiscal year 2025, USCIS received roughly 442,000 registrations for 85,000 slots, a selection rate near 25%. However, seniors with master's degrees from U.S. institutions enter a separate, smaller pool first, which historically offers better odds. Employers with cap-exempt status bypass the lottery entirely, making them strategically valuable targets.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer if I change jobs as a fullstack engineer?
Yes. H-1B portability allows you to start working for a new employer as soon as they file a transfer petition, as long as your previous H-1B was approved and you've maintained valid status. You don't need to wait for the new petition to be approved. The new employer must still file a fresh LCA and I-129, and the role must continue to qualify as a specialty occupation.
Do employers actually sponsor senior fullstack engineers, or is it mostly junior roles?
Senior roles are actually sponsored at higher rates than junior ones. At the senior level, employers have already invested in assessing your skills, the business case for sponsorship is clearer, and companies are less willing to lose a strong candidate over visa paperwork. Large tech companies, growth-stage startups, and consulting firms all regularly sponsor at the senior level. Migrate Mate lists sponsorship-open fullstack roles specifically, so you're not guessing which employers are willing.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Senior Fullstack Software Engineer jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
