Sr. Forward Deployed Engineer

Senior Forward Deployed Engineer needed to collaborate with customers, design integrations, and implement solutions, requiring 5-10+ years of software engineering experience.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at Vanta, you’ll sit at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success. You’ll work directly with customers to understand their needs, extend Vanta’s product and platform to solve real problems, and ensure successful adoption.

What you’ll do as a Forward Deployed Engineer at Vanta:

Collaborate directly with customers to understand their technical goals and translate them into actionable solutions.
Design and implement integrations, data transformations, and reporting workflows that extend Vanta’s platform to customer-specific use cases.
Work hands-on across the stack — from APIs and SDKs to infrastructure configuration — to ensure smooth deployment, adoption, and performance.
Partner closely with Solution Architects and product engineering teams to align on technical requirements, influence roadmap priorities, and share field insights.
Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues across integrations, data pipelines, and application layers.
Serve as a trusted technical advisor to customers, enabling them to maximize the value and security impact of Vanta’s platform.
Contribute to Vanta’s technical and customer success culture by documenting best practices and mentoring teammates.

How to be successful in this role:

Have 5-10+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in customer-facing or deployment-oriented roles.
Be comfortable coding in one or more modern languages (e.g., TypeScript, Python, Go, or similar) and working with APIs, data systems, and integrations.
Have strong problem-solving skills and the ability to quickly understand unfamiliar systems and adapt Vanta’s products and platform to them.
Enjoy working directly with customers; ranging from technical engineers to security and compliance leaders, and thrive in fast-changing, high-impact environments.
Collaborate effectively with Solution Architects, product engineers, and cross-functional teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.
Have an interest in security, compliance, or SaaS infrastructure; prior experience in these domains is a plus, but not required.
Willingness to travel approximately 10–15% of the time for customer engagements, on-site implementations, or strategic planning sessions.
