Vanta’s team and technology surface are growing quickly, and it’s essential that we invest in the right abstractions and systems to enable us to scale with our business.
Our business has found incredible product-market fit and has monetized effectively since the day we signed our first customer. We’re growing at a blistering pace, which presents career-defining opportunities for engineers to accelerate their growth and to contribute to a rapidly-scaling company.
As a Recruiting Coordinator at Vanta, you’ll manage coordination of hiring and interviewing activities at Vanta during a period of exciting and critical growth.
If this sounds exciting to you, we’d love to hear from you, and talk through your path at Vanta!

We started in 2018, in the wake of several high-profile data breaches.
