How to be successful in this role:

• 15+ years of deep backend engineering experience with a track record of leading complex, multi-quarter technical initiatives in fast-paced, product-focused environments
• Designed platform abstractions that absorbed messy, conflicting enterprise requirements across a diverse customer base — you've solved for the general case, not the loudest customer request
• A track record of shipping in stages: you've moved large, structurally complex problems forward incrementally, with each phase standing on its own, without getting ahead of what customers and the product can absorb
• A history of operating effectively across squads and teams you don't own — alignment built through technical clarity and credibility, not org chart proximity
• Deep familiarity with enterprise architectural patterns: tenancy models, role-based access control, data isolation, scoped permissions, cross-tenant operations, and access boundary design
• Strong communication skills — you make complex systems legible to engineering leadership, product partners, and customer-facing stakeholders, in writing and in the room
• Data residency or GovCloud exposure is a plus; the right person ramps on this in a quarter once the core structural problems are in hand
• Open to using AI to amplify your skills and strengthen your work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.

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.
