You'll work on challenging problems involving system performance, data integrity, complex business logic, and connecting multiple platforms.

• Strong communication skills with ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Experience working with Revenue Operations, Sales Operations, or similar business teams
• Track record of technical mentorship or leadership
• Salesforce certifications (Platform Developer I/II) are a plus but not required
• 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.

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.
