Vanta fosters a kind and talented team, where individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those without prior security experience, thrive.

The Role

As a Systems Engineer, AI Solutions on the Corporate Engineering team, you will be instrumental in identifying, designing, and implementing AI-driven solutions across various General & Administrative (G&A) functions.

A key aspect of this role involves leading company-wide, cross-functional AI initiatives that span multiple teams, ensuring broad impact and scalability.

You will work closely with G&A leaders to significantly improve operational efficiency, reduce manual tasks, and enable more informed decision-making through thoughtful AI adoption. Concurrently, you will collaborate with other AI-focused partners within Vanta to ensure that all internal AI solutions are aligned, reusable, and consistently scalable across the entire organization.

• Analyze existing systems and workflows to uncover areas where AI can reduce toil, improve accuracy, or accelerate outcomes.
• Design and implement AI-enabled solutions that align with functional needs and company standards.
• Lead AI solutions that span multiple teams or apply broadly across the company (e.g., internal assistants, automation, intelligence layers).
• Help establish best practices and reusable patterns for internal AI development within Corporate Engineering.
• Build and configure AI-driven solutions using a mix of declarative (clicks-based) tools and custom development (code).
• Integrate AI capabilities into existing internal systems while maintaining security, privacy, and data integrity.

Collaboration & Governance

• Translate business problems into technical solutions through close partnership with internal stakeholders.
