Senior Engineering Manager, Reporting & Issue Management - job 1 of 2

At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. 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. 

Our Engineering Managers develop and grow high-performing teams that deliver significant value to our customers and enable our business to scale. Our product integrates deeply with the services that present security risk to a company, pulls and analyzes data from those sources, and surfaces potential security threats to our customers in real time with guidance to remediate them.

As an Engineering Manager, you’ll be responsible for setting strategy, for leading your team to deliver results consistently and sustainably, for growing and developing talented engineers, and for cultivating a healthy, results-driven culture on your team.

Vanta’s business and team are growing quickly, and it’s essential that we lay the foundation for a successful organization. You’ll leverage your past experience and play a crucial role in laying the groundwork for a successful engineering organization, contributing to developing foundational processes that enable our entire team to scale — onboarding, interview loops, career frameworks, execution frameworks, and more. 

Our Reporting & Issue Management team is enabling Vanta’s customers to monitor and share their program process as well as managing issues that arise from audits or internal reviews.  The team plays a pivotal role in building features needed by Vanta’s upmarket customers.  

Our business has found incredible product-market fit and has monetized effectively since the day we signed our first customer. We’re growing at a blistering pace, which presents career-defining opportunities for engineers to accelerate their growth and to contribute to a rapidly-scaling company.

Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it. We’d love for you to join us!

What you’ll do as a Senior Engineering Manager at Vanta:

  • Drive significant impact for our customers and business by leading teams to deliver results consistently and sustainably

  • Build a best-in-class engineering team. Coach, mentor and create an environment where your team can do their best work and deliver for the business. 

  • Set direction and guide technical strategy, ensuring that your team is delivering long-term value aligned with Vanta’s business priorities

  • Work closely with Vanta’s customers and customer-facing teammates to build and ship high-value products and infrastructure

  • Play an integral role in laying the foundation for Vanta’s engineering culture

How to be successful in this role:

  • Have three or more years of professional experience in a full-time engineering manager role

  • Strong decision maker who effectively balances ambiguity, available data, speed, and quality

  • Have participated in developing or driving engineering-wide initiatives (recruiting processes, career frameworks, etc) in a prior role

  • Have prior experience managing complex, long-term projects that touch multiple teams and cross-functional stakeholders

  • Effective communicator and story-teller. Able to influence cross functional stakeholders and adjacent teams

What you can expect as a Vantan:

  • Industry-competitive compensation

  • 100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage

  • 16 weeks fully-paid parental Leave for all new parents

  • Health & wellness and remote workplace stipends

  • Family planning benefits through Carrot Fertility

  • 401(k) matching

  • Flexible work hours and location

  • Open PTO policy

  • 11 paid holidays in the US

  • Offices in SF, NYC, Dublin, and Sydney

To provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base pay ranges for all US-based job postings regardless of state. We set standard base pay ranges for all roles based on function, level, and country location, benchmarked against similar-stage growth companies. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including candidate location, skills, depth of work experience, and relevant licenses/credentials, and may vary.

At Vanta, we are committed to hiring diverse talent of different backgrounds and as such, it is important to us to provide an inclusive work environment for all.

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.
