Senior Manager, Systems Engineering

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. Vanta's Corporate Engineering team is the infrastructure layer that keeps 1,500+ people connected, secure, and moving fast. This role leads the shift from a reactive support function to a platform function the whole company relies on. Corporate Engineering owns the systems, tooling, and access infrastructure Vanta runs on. From identity and device management to AI tooling infrastructure and ITSM, CE makes sure Vanta's people have the right access, the right tools, and the right guardrails on day one and every day after. CE is at an inflection point. The company has scaled quickly, AI tooling is live company-wide, and the team is ready for a leader who sets technical direction, establishes clear ownership, and builds the leadership layer beneath them. As Sr. Manager, Systems Engineering, you will lead a team of experienced engineers, own several of the company's highest-priority platform initiatives, and make CE a function the rest of Vanta builds on rather than routes around. What you’ll do as a Senior Manager, Systems Engineering at Vanta: - Lead, coach, and grow a team of systems engineers and a tech lead. Set clear expectations, hold a high bar, and develop the people who build Vanta's most critical internal systems. - Own joiner, mover, and leaver automation end to end in Okta Workflows, so access is correct on day one, follows people through role changes, and closes completely on departure, including API keys and service credentials. - Build and own device assurance across macOS and Windows, defining OS, browser, and device-state policy ahead of enforcement rather than in response to it. - Rationalize the ITSM estate so se
