Senior Product Builder, Organizational Intelligence

Title: Senior Product Builder, Organizational Intelligence Location: Remote U.S. 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 build the layer that makes Vanta's data actually useful: a single interpretive layer that reads across every source of truth and makes them queryable, reasoned-over, and genuinely illuminating — for EPD, for GTM, and for anyone in the org trying to understand what's happening and why. The EPD Systems team is building the infrastructure Vanta's engineering, product, and design organization depends on to understand itself. We're constructing three interlocking layers: sources of truth at the foundation, an operating system that makes delivery legible, and the intelligence layer that reasons across all of it. This role owns the intelligence layer — the one that doesn't exist yet. This is a builder role. You will ship working things yourself — prototypes, internal tools, agent workflows. You will not hand specs to someone else and wait. Communication isn't a separate deliverable; it's how you learn what to build. What you’ll do as a Senior Product Builder at Vanta: - Build the intelligence layer: a cross-source interpretive layer that reads across Vanta's sources of truth and makes them queryable and reasoned-over by EPD leadership, GTM, and beyond - Define what to build: scope the problem yourself, make explicit tradeoffs about what to defer, and own the sequence of what gets built and when - Ship working things yourself: prototypes, internal tools, agent workflows — using AI as part of how you work, not what you report on - Understand the organization: go to the teams whose decisions this layer will serve — GTM, G&A, EPD — and come back knowing what they can't answer today - Catch and address AI-specific quality problems — reliability, cost, latency, drift, bad answers — before they cause damage - Build on top of what the Signal Collection and EPD OS roles are constructing; understand what's trustworthy and what's coming How to be successful in this role: - You scope ambiguous problems yourself — you don't wait for the mandate to sharpen before you start. You're comfortable showing unpolished work, and you're honest about when to push ahead alone vs. pull in an engineer - You've shipped real things with LLM tooling recently, and your approach has changed in the last six months. If someone described AI architecture to you and their thinking hadn't evolved since last year, that would tell you something - You change behavior across orgs you don't control — GTM, G&A — through what you build and how you communicate, not through authority - You know what quality means when building with AI: reliability, cost, latency, edge cases, drift. You've caught a real quality problem before it caused damage, and you stayed with it after it was technically "shipped" - You find root causes rather than symptoms, and you think through second- and third-order effects before you make a change - We use AI to augment our own capabilities and invest deeply in helping every Vantan enhance their work through AI - No CS degree required, no pedigree gate. Real, recent, shipped work and the ability to learn fast are what clear 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 To provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base pay ranges for all US-based job postings regardless of state. We set standard base pay ranges for all roles based on function, level, and country location, benchmarked against similar-stage growth companies. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors and may vary based on candidate location, skills, depth of work experience, and relevant licenses/credentials. #LI-remote At Vanta, we are committed to hiring diverse talent of different backgrounds and as such, it is important to us to provide an inclusive work environment for all. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender identity, age, religion, sexual orientation, veteran or disability status, or any other protected class. As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage and welcome people of all backgrounds to apply. 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.
