We're Dratanauts: a global crew of 600+ professionals united by a culture that rewards integrity, ownership, and raising the bar, no matter where in the world we're working from.\nWhy Join the Drata Team?\nAt Drata, you're not maintaining legacy compliance software - you're building the agentic AI platform defining what trust looks like for the next generation of companies. Here's what makes the work itself worth showing up for:\nProblems without a playbook: You'll work at the edge of AI and security, building agentic governance, continuous compliance, and real-time trust verification to solve problems that don't have an established answer yet. You're writing it as you go.\n\nReal ownership, not just process: Our values center on owning outcomes and raising the bar, not checking boxes. You're expected to have opinions and back them.\n\nA seat at the table: Your perspective is unique and valued. Open debate and diverse viewpoints are built into how decisions actually get made here, at every level.\n\nGrowth at rocketship speed: Drata is scaling fast, which means scope grows fast too. High performers get more ownership, visibility, and experience.\n\nA crew, not just coworkers: Dratanauts consistently describe a \"come as you are\" culture with sharp, curious people-the kind of team that makes hard problems genuinely fun to solve. See what they say here and follow us on LinkedIn for company news, employee stories, and career updates.\n\nJob Summary:\nDrata's Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) platform helps companies identify, assess, and continuously manage the risks that come from their vendors and other third parties. Instead of manually reviewing only their highest-risk vendors, our customers use Drata to run rigorous, consistent reviews across their entire vendor portfolio - maintaining a complete vendor inventory, collecting evidence like SOC 2 reports and ISO certifications, evaluating it against their own criteria with Drata's AI agent, and producing audit-ready reports. The agent accelerates the assessment work; humans stay responsible for final risk and approval decisions.\nWe're looking for a Staff Product Engineer to build these workflows, integrations, and AI-powered experiences - and to own them end to end. At Drata, engineering doesn't stop at a merged pull request. You'll follow a feature from problem definition through design, rollout, documentation, and production monitoring, making sure customers are actually using and benefiting from what you ship. Strong engineering is expected, but the engineers who thrive here are defined by judgement, ownership, and communication at least as much as by code.\nWhat you’ll do:\nOwn features end to end - from understanding the customer problem, through design and implementation, to rollout, documentation, and post-launch monitoring.\n\nManage your own releases - own feature-flag strategy and the actual rollout, rather than handing off at merge.\n\nTreat UX and documentation as part of the deliverable - a feature isn't done until it's usable and understood.\n\nMonitor production health for your product area - catch and resolve issues from strong signals, not from customer complaints or escalations.\n\nPartner closely with Product - understand the problem before implementing, and propose better approaches when you see them.\n\nAddress bugs and tech debt as part of the work, rather than deferring them indefinitely.\n\nBuild with AI - develop and improve the AI agent experiences at the core of our assessment workflows.\n\nWhat you’ll bring:\nTechnical skill is the foundation - but the qualities below are what set our best Product Engineers apart, and we weight them heavily:\nJudgement - You see the end-to-end picture from the customer's perspective and make sound decisions without needing every step specified.\n\nOwnership - You treat rollout, UX, documentation, and production health as yours, not someone else's.\n\nComfort with ambiguity - You make meaningful progress on under-defined problems.\n\nMultiplier effect - You raise the people and teams around you through mentorship, strong reviews, and unblocking others.\n\nDomain depth - You invest in understanding our product and our customers' world (vendor risk, TPRM, compliance).\n\nClear prioritization & communication - You judge urgency accurately, escalate at the right time, think one step ahead, and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical partners.\n\nRequirements:\nProfessional software engineering experience building and owning production systems end to end 8-10+ years\n\nProficiency in JavaScript / TypeScript across the stack. (must have)\n\nBackend experience with Node.js / NestJS; front-end experience with React.\n\nExperience with event-driven architecture and durable workflow orchestration (e.g. Temporal).\n\nSolid grounding in relational databases, testing, observability/telemetry, and modern CI/CD practices.\n\nOperates across teams and product areas; owns architecture and long-term technical direction.\n\nSets technical direction for others and serves as a primary escalation point.\n\nMakes decisions that span multiple areas and longer time horizons.\n\nMentors across the team and closes gaps between disparate parts of the system.\n\nPlans for the long term and avoids short-term-only solutions.\n\nBonus qualifications:\nExperience in TPRM, vendor risk, GRC, or compliance domains.\n\nExperience building or working alongside AI-powered product features\n\nHow we support you:\n At Drata, our people are our strongest advantage-and we prove it with support that exceeds industry standards. Our total rewards package is designed to power your well-being, accelerate your growth, and keep your work-life balance thriving.\nExplore how we invest in your Life at Drata.\nShared Success: We provide stock equity to ensure that as the company grows, you share directly in that success. Equity gives every employee a sense of ownership and the opportunity to celebrate our wins together-because your contributions don’t just support our progress; they help drive our collective success.\n\nHealth & Wellness: Up to 100% employer-paid premiums for medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and their dependents, along with comprehensive wellness benefits and healthcare concierge services designed to support your needs beyond traditional insurance.\n\nFinancial Well-being: A comprehensive suite of financial benefits, including a 401(k) plan, company-paid life and disability insurance, tax-advantaged spending accounts, and a range of discounted voluntary offerings to help you customize and strengthen your overall financial position.\n\nFamily Support: We want to support you in life's most important moments, so we offer a paid Parental Leave policy, after six months of employment. Employees also receive access to Kindbody fertility and family-building benefits and dedicated leave specialists who help guide you through the entire process.\n\nGrowth & Development: Generous annual stipends for both professional and personal development, empowering you to invest in your continued growth. You’ll also have access to a wide range of internal learning opportunities, ensuring you can build new skills, deepen your expertise, and advance your career with confidence.\n\nTime Off & Flexibility: We believe that to do your best work, you should get the time you need for rest, rejuvenation and recovery. Drata offers a flexible vacation policy, paid holidays, and other perks to recharge.\n\nThe expected base salary range for this role is between $165,000 - $270,000 and is listed to provide transparency. Actual base pay will vary based on multiple factors - market location, job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and overall alignment to the role. \nCandidates shouldn't expect automatic placement at any particular point within the range. Offer amounts are determined by the qualifications each candidate brings to the position. Total compensation may also include equity designed to provide meaningful ownership in the company, as well as health and wellbeing benefits.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8189,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible vacation policy","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Security Compliance","AI Governance & Compliance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T20:43:54Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 7","filings_12m":7,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":242500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":2}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":76,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":270000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/drata-staff-product-engineer-tprm","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/drata-staff-product-engineer-tprm.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T11:26:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13554,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4417},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4417"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdrata-staff-product-engineer-tprm"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdrata-staff-product-engineer-tprm"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdrata-staff-product-engineer-tprm"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/drata-staff-product-engineer-tprm\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdrata-staff-product-engineer-tprm"}]}
