About The Position

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. The Test Experience team owns one of the most critical and widely-used features on the Vanta platform—Tests. Vanta Tests give customers visibility into their compliance posture, automatically collect audit evidence, and provide clear remediation guidance. Our team is responsible for the complete lifecycle of Tests, from configuration and execution to managing test outcomes and driving customer action. We're scaling our execution infrastructure and building the next generation of test personalization while exploring AI-powered solutions for test creation and intelligent remediation workflows. This is a high-visibility role where you'll lead a team building platform features that directly impact both our internal engineering teams and our customers' daily experience with Vanta. As an Engineering Manager, you'll be responsible for setting strategy, leading your team to deliver results consistently and sustainably, growing and developing talented engineers, and cultivating a healthy, results-driven culture on your team.
