Role Description

As a Senior Engineering Manager, Core Platform at Vanta, you'll own the foundational infrastructure that every engineer builds on, ensuring it scales with company growth while remaining fast, simple, and reliable. This team’s ownership spans shared services infrastructure, observability and monitoring, datastore management, and async work systems.

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

  • Lead and grow high-performing platform engineering teams that deliver reliable, scalable infrastructure and operational excellence for Vanta’s products and customers.
  • Set technical direction and drive multi-quarter platform initiatives spanning infrastructure reliability, security, scalability, and developer experience across shared systems and services.
  • Partner closely with product engineering, security, and engineering leadership to identify organizational needs. Translate ambiguous infrastructure challenges into clear roadmap priorities, and deliver scalable platform solutions.
  • Design and evolve internal platforms, paved roads, and abstractions that enable product teams to ship independently, securely, and efficiently without deep infrastructure expertise.
  • Guide the evolution of Vanta’s cloud and data infrastructure, including AWS services (ECS, Fargate), MongoDB performance and optimization, and event-driven architecture.
  • Establish strong engineering culture, operational standards, and ownership practices that empower teams across Vanta to build and operate healthy systems responsibly.

  • Track record of maintaining and scaling shared infrastructure in measurable, concrete ways.
  • 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, and comfortable driving technical direction across teams without relying on direct authority.
  • Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.

Benefits

  • Industry-competitive salary and equity.
  • 100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage.
  • Pension contribution.
  • 16 weeks Parental Leave for all new parents.
  • Health & wellness stipend.

  • Virtual team building activities, lunch and learns, and other company-wide events!
  • Offices in SF, NYC, London, Dublin, Tel Aviv, and Sydney.

Company Description

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.
