Job description

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 Senior Analytics Engineer, you’ll be responsible for laying the foundation for a best-in-class analytics function. You’ll partner closely with our data science team and business stakeholders to ensure that our analytics stack and processes meet the business needs today with an eye towards the future.

• Manage and improve data infrastructure needed to drive data-driven decision-making solutions.
• Help develop front end applications to expose analytical data sets enterprise wide
• Work with the Product and Corporate Engineering system teams to structure source systems for reporting consumption across the enterprise.

How to be successful in this role:

• Have at least four years of experience working with data and two years of experience in Software Engineering or a related field.
• Have experience with common analytics tooling (e.g. dbt is a must, Stitch/Fivetran, Snowflake/BigQuery/Redshift, Airflow, Dagster, Looker/Mode/Sigma).
• Bring a system-oriented and software engineering mindset to the Analytics Engineering practice. We’re looking to build frameworks that manage data, and minimize bespoke queries.
• Deep knowledge of crafting dimensional and fact models in modern data fashion.
• Have a passion for enabling the developer experience of data, and being obsessed with giving data super powers across the company.
• Desire to lead the industry in security, anonymization, and compliance management when it comes to data warehousing.
• Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future employer sponsorship.
• 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

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.
