Frontend Software Engineer, Design Systems

At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. 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. 

We are looking for an experienced Frontend Engineer to join our Design Systems team, which builds tools and drives ways of working that empower our internal teams to efficiently build and deliver scalable, high-craft, and cohesive experiences that meet the expectations of our upmarket customers.

You will have company-wide impact, empowering other Vanta engineers and designers to meet B2B SaaS customer expectations for UI consistency, performant data flow, accessible and locale-formatted experiences using cutting-edge technologies.

Ideal candidates have a proven track record of delivering impactful solutions that streamline developer workflows, with expertise in building and maintaining a system of rich UI components, developer friendly APIs, leveraging design tokens for clean abstractions, and implementing and testing for internationalization, localization, and accessibility throughout. You will play an important role in facilitating consistent and performant user experiences, as well as improving the productivity of all engineers at Vanta.

Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it. We’d love for you to join us!

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.
