Senior Systems 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.

This is an amazing opportunity to join and develop best practices and tooling strategies while also helping scale the maturity of the enterprise tech stack as the business grows. If you’re someone who lives and breathes systems and has high initiative and enjoys problem solving while having impact at a high-growth company, we would love to hear from you!

The Enterprise Engineering team is an employee-facing team with a mission to provide Vantans with a secure and stellar experience with the tools and technologies they need to do their best work, regardless of where they are.

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.
