Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Vanta helps businesses earn and prove trust through continuous security monitoring and verification. The Operations Manager, Signal Systems will own the data infrastructure supporting Vanta’s EPD organization by bringing signal sources online, standardizing and validating data, and building systems that make information trustworthy and usable. The role also involves partnering with source and consumer teams, collaborating across systems layers, and helping teammates grow their technical capabilities.
Responsibilities
- 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
Skills
- 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
- 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
