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. As an IT Sr. Systems Engineer in the Corporate Engineering division, you will build and scale the systems, workflows, and automations that power the employee experience at Vanta. This is an opportunity to shape the future of enterprise tooling at a high-growth company, architecting decisions, developing scalable solutions, and enabling Vanta'ns to do their best work securely and efficiently. The Corporate Engineering team is an employee-facing team with a mission to provide Vanta'ns with a secure and stellar experience with the tools and technologies they need to do their best work, regardless of where they are. This role will partner closely with Security, IT Operations, and cross-functional business stakeholders to design and maintain scalable corporate systems and integrations across Vanta's collaboration and productivity ecosystem.
