Shape how millions of people discover their strengths, engage their teams, and act on Gallup's research, and set the bar for how Gallup engineers build with AI. Gallup's engineering organization builds the products that put Gallup's science into people's hands: CliftonStrengths ® , employee engagement platforms, and the reporting and coaching experiences that turn decades of research into something people use every day. If you want a seat that serves people around the globe and moves with the biggest technical problems in the organization instead of staying put on one team's roadmap, this is it. About the Role We're looking for a staff engineer to work day to day with our head of engineering as a technical thought partner across a sizable engineering organization, moving to wherever the next product initiative needs strong technical judgment most, whether that's building out new platforms, creating new product experiences or implementing new capabilities. This is a horizontal, cross-team role, not a single-team ownership role. You'll mentor senior engineers and tech leads across the organization, help set the standard for how Gallup engineers use AI to build better and faster, and partner with our AI Infrastructure team on the governance and best practices that keep AI-assisted development moving fast without cutting corners. You'll also stay closely connected with our Data Platform team, so we consistently bring the right data and insight to bear across our initiatives, and you’ll contribute to modernizing shared platform foundations like identity and access along the way. Above all, you'll be expected to surface opportunities we haven't asked for yet: new tools, techniques or architectural approaches from your own experience that could shape how we work here.

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 Staff Software Engineer on the Automation - Foundations team, you will lead the re-platforming of the data layer underneath Vanta’s entire compliance product. This is a migration that spans multiple teams, has to preserve every public API contract along the way, and cannot lose a single customer’s evidence while it happens. Foundations is Vanta’s data platform team. We ingest security and compliance data from across our customer’s environments, currently tens of thousands of resources per second, with single-customer bursts running into the millions. We store the data, catalog it, make it queryable, and turn it into evidence that has to survive a real SOC 2 or FedRAMP audit. We are in the middle of moving our platform from a Mongo-centric architecture to a schema-aware, Postgres-backed architecture, on a Kafka and S3 pipeline that decouples data fetching from processing. Both pipelines run in parallel today, the hard problems here are correctness under migration, eventual consistency, and multi-tenancy, in a domain where “mostly right” is not an acceptable failure mode. Visit our Vanta Engineering Blog to learn more about what our team is working on. What you'll do as a Staff Software Engineer at Vanta: Lead the migration of Vanta’s resource data model from a Mongo-centric solution to a schema-aware Postgres-backed solution and running both generations in parallel without breaking a customer integration. Drive solutions across teams that you do not own but are dependent on the platform built by your team. Design for correctness under eventual consistency with idempotent session handling, conditional writes that survive out
