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 a Solutions Engineer, you’ll be leading the technical discussion with our key prospects & customers, making sure there’s nothing stopping our customers from using Vanta to its fullest potential to support their own security goals.
You’ll be an integral part of the Sales team, working pre-sales to ensure technical fit and create innovative solutions for our customers.
Your attention to detail, focused on customer needs, will drive compelling technical evaluations and proof-of-concept engagements. This will ultimately accelerate deal velocity and increase win rates while helping to shape competitive positioning, sales strategy, and product roadmap feedback.
GRC practitioners are especially encouraged to apply—whether you've managed GRC programs in-house, audited them as an internal or external auditor, or helped customers meet their GRC program needs at a GRC vendor, you'll bring exactly the customer empathy and domain fluency this role thrives on.
What you’ll do as a Solutions Engineer at Vanta:
Own the technical relationship with our customers
Develop a deep understanding of our product capabilities, integrations, configurations messaging, partner ecosystem, and competitive landscape.
Listen carefully to prospects and clients to provide market feedback to the product team and help prioritize functionality needed to drive sales opportunities
Support customers thought their trial process with Vanta
Build product examples, documentation, and other critical resources for our customers
Cultivate an environment of teamwork, openness, creativity, and continuous improvement
Creatively identify and help drive new programs to improve the pre to post-sales transition
How to be successful in this role:
Have 3+ years of customer-facing, technical experience as a solutions engineer, sales engineer, technology consultant or equivalent title
Ideally have prior experience in the GRC space or cybersecurity domain
Have previous B2B SaaS experience
Have hands-on experience with cloud platforms: AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure & Operating Systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux) and cloud application architecture
Have strong project management skills with a proven ability to operate in a startup environment that lacks structure of a larger organization
Be creative, technical, and naturally persuasive
Be detail-oriented and organized.
Love listening to customers, discussing strategy with colleagues, but also diving into the weeds.
Be familiar with REST API development and service integrations is a plus
Be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future employer sponsorship
Use AI in day-to-day work to amplify your skills and strengthen your outcomes, applying it across routine workflows, actively building fluency through experimentation, and exercising sound judgment to ensure AI-assisted work meets a high quality bar

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.
