Solutions Engineer, Early Stage

We're on a mission t‍o secure the internet and protect consumer data.

How we got here

Restoring trust in internet businesses

Vanta was founded 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.

We started by automating

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.

Our Principles

Vanta’s mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. To do that, we’re building an enduring company where all Vanta’ns can do the best work of their careers.

Building that enduring company together necessitates articulating how we work and how we make decisions - we call these our Principles.

They’re the core tenets that guide how we work, how we hire, and how we interact with customers and partners.

A Vanta’n will...

• Put our customers first: We center our customers and their needs in our work, and invest in long-term relationships with them. What and how we build is driven by our customers first and foremost, so that we’re more likely to achieve our mission of securing the internet.

• Bias for action: Vanta’ns bias for action, making decisions and acting quickly even in the face of uncertainty. When we get new information, we’re comfortable with reversing decisions as long as we move quickly so we can iterate and learn.

• Decide with frameworks: While Vanta’ns are charged with making decisions quickly, we also make them deliberately based on turning every page and creating frameworks - systems and structures explaining, supporting, and generalizing our decisions to explain the “why” behind decisions, and ensure that similar decisions in the future are made consistently.

• Presume good intent: Special companies are built by teams, not individuals. As Vanta’ns, we naturally support and uplift our teammates and partners and we presume good intent, especially with teammates.

• Lead with resilience: Vanta created, and leads, a dynamic, enormous market. We don’t let day-to-day volatility knock us off course - we operate with resilience and fortitude. We see rapid change as an opportunity to continue redefining an industry in service of our customers.

• Do what it says on the tin: We are building a trust management platform to allow all companies to build and prove their security continuously, and building that platform requires trust. For Vanta to earn and keep that trust, all Vanta’ns must hold themselves to the highest standards, and be truthful, humble, and accountable.
