Salesforce Platform Engineer

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. As a Salesforce Platform Engineer at Vanta, you will build the developer experience and deployment foundation that our Salesforce engineering team relies on every day. You'll establish modern CI/CD practices, harden our release pipeline, instrument our platform with observability, feature flags, and get our codebase ready for AI-assisted development workflows. Reporting to the Lead of Salesforce Architecture, you'll own this domain end-to-end during an initial 9–12 month buildout, after which the role evolves into a 50/50 split between continued Platform/DX ownership and traditional Salesforce Engineering. The Business Systems team owns the platforms and infrastructure that GTM teams rely on daily. We build and maintain Salesforce, integration workflows, data pipelines, and automation that help Vanta scale while delivering exceptional customer experiences. As Vanta continues to grow, your work will directly enable that growth by building systems that support increasing complexity and volume. You'll bring deep, hands-on Salesforce Platform Engineering experience — the kind that only comes from having lived inside SF release pipelines, Gearset, sandbox management, and Apex testing in production. You understand the quirks of the SF platform and how it diverges from traditional software platform work. You'll work on challenging problems involving release safety, developer productivity, test data management, and preparing our environment for AI-assisted development workflows.
