Zusammenfassung

Vanta in Germany is seeking an Operations Manager, Signal Systems to own data sources from discovery to ingestion and live operation. You’ll replace manual processes with engineering solutions and work with teams to understand what the data means and how to deliver it back to internal consumers.

You’ll ship pipelines and tools, mentor teammates, and collaborate with AI-enabled systems to ensure the data is trustworthy, queryable, and ready for use across engineering, product, and design.

Qualifikationen

• No CS degree or formal engineering tenure required.

Aufgaben

• Bring new signal sources online end to end — from discovery and scoping through ingestion, standardization, and live operation
• Identify the specific failure modes in each information source and build systems that mitigate them at the point of ingestion

Jobbeschreibung

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. You will own the data Vanta's EPD organization actually runs on — bringing new signal sources online, standardizing them at the point of ingestion, and building the systems that make the underlying data trustworthy rather than merely stored. The EPD Systems team is building the infrastructure Vanta's engineering, product, and design organization depends on to understand itself. Not by asking teams to be more diligent but by going to the source, processing it, standardizing it, and pushing value back out so each source of truth earns its own adoption.

What you’ll do as a Operations Manager, Signal Systems at Vanta:

• Bring new signal sources online end to end — from discovery and scoping through ingestion, standardization, and live operation
• Identify the specific failure modes in each information source and build systems that mitigate them at the point of ingestion
• Go to the teams that produce and consume a signal, understand what the information actually means and what they need back from it, and build accordingly
• Replace human-diligence dependencies with engineering solutions: derive fields, pull from source systems, validate at write time
• Build alongside teammates who are growing into building — raise their technical ceiling, not just your own output
• Partner with the inference and systems layers to ensure what you produce is queryable, trustworthy, and ready to build on

How to be successful in this role:

• You look at a data source and see its failure modes before its contents: where it lies, where it goes stale, where it's duplicated, where the schema won't hold at 10x
• Your first move on an adherence problem is an engineering answer — derive it, pull it, or validate it at write time. Better forms and nudges are your last resort
• You’ve shipped something yourself in roughly the last 12–18 months — a pipeline, an internal tool, a working prototype, an agent — and you can walk through the code and defend your choices. Specs handed to an engineer don't count for this bar
• You’ve built something real with Claude, an LLM API, or agentic tooling — not “I use ChatGPT for drafts.” You’ll be asked what broke and how you worked around it
• You build alongside people: some teammates do program-delivery work today and should grow into building; you see growing their capability as part of your mandate, not a tax on it
• You go find out what the data means by talking to the people who produce and consume it, and you come back with a changed understanding — not a requirements list
• We use AI to augment our own capabilities and invest deeply in helping every Vantan enhance their work through AI
• No CS degree or formal engineering tenure required. Shipping real things fast with AI‑assisted tooling clears our bar
• 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

What you can expect as a Vanta’n:

• Industry-competitive salary and equity
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% of employee-only benefit premiums covered for most medical plans
• 16 weeks paid Parental Leave for all new parents
• Health & wellness stipend
• Remote workspace, internet, and cellphone stipend
• Commuter benefits for team members who report to the SF and NYC office
• Family planning benefits
• Matching 401(k) contribution with immediate vesting
• Flexible PTO policy, plus 80 hours of Sick Time
• 11 company-paid holidays
• Virtual team building activities, lunch and learns, and other company-wide events!
• Offices in SF, NYC, London, Dublin, Tel Aviv, and Sydney

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 realtime and transparent.
