Responsibilities

  • Lead two squads to deliver consistently and sustainably against a clear product roadmap
  • Set a high-accountability, high-ownership delivery culture — weekly goal tracking, tech spec reviews, and proactive project visibility
  • Partner closely with product and design to shape roadmap priorities, make tradeoff decisions, and ensure engineering is a strong voice in what gets built and why
  • Engage meaningfully in technical decisions — read specs, participate in architecture discussions, and guide your team toward sound engineering choices without needing to write all the code yourself
  • Attract, grow, and retain strong engineers; manage and uplevel senior ICs and foster an environment where your team does their best work
  • Work cross-functionally with GTM, the AI Platform team, and other partners to identify opportunities, clear blockers, and ship for the business
  • Contribute to Vanta’s engineering culture by helping build the processes, norms, and practices that help the whole organization scale

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of full-time engineering management experience leading teams of 6–8+ engineers
  • Track record of running high-execution teams with disciplined delivery practices — tech spec reviews, weekly goal tracking, and strong timeline accountability
  • Experience managing and upleveling senior individual contributors
  • Product engineering background: you’ve led teams building customer-facing software, not primarily infrastructure or platform
  • Technically engaged and comfortable in architecture discussions, able to read specs critically and make informed tradeoff decisions
  • Proven ability to shape product and long-term technical strategy in close partnership with a PM
  • Strong decision maker who effectively balances ambiguity, available data, speed, and quality
  • Uses AI in day-to-day work to amplify your skills and strengthen your outcomes, applying it across routine workflows, actively building fluency through experimentation, and exercising sound judgment to ensure AI-assisted work meets a high quality bar.
