We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it.\nYou will build the operating system for EPD - the systems, agents, and practices that make engineering, product, and design unreasonably effective at delivery, with Jira as the substrate.\nThe EPD Systems team is building the infrastructure Vanta's engineering, product, and design organization depends on to understand itself and operate well. We're constructing three interlocking layers: sources of truth at the foundation, a shared interpretive layer that reasons across all of them, and the operating system that makes the work itself legible. This role owns the operating system.\nThis is not a traditional PMO or status-reporting role. You build - agents, automation, workflow design, and the practices that make teams want to use the system rather than route around it.\nWhat you’ll do as a Senior Systems Designer at Vanta:\nDesign and own workflow and hierarchy across engineering, product, and design in Jira\n\nMake sure Jira reflects real practice, and real practice reflects what needs to show up in Jira - in both directions\n\nBuild the agents and automation that run the system yourself, with AI as part of how you work\n\nDrive adoption: go to the teams whose practice doesn't match the substrate today and change that - through conversation, well-built artifacts, or clear instruction that works without you in the room\n\nUnderstand delivery breakdowns at the mechanism level and build fixes that address the root cause, not the symptom\n\nBuild alongside teammates who are growing into more technical work - raise their ceiling, not just your own output\n\nHow to be successful in this role:\nYou build and ship, recently, with AI as part of how you work. \"I'd ask an engineer to build that\" is not a valid answer here\n\nYou find the mechanism that's actually failing before you reach for a tool. Your default is to remove steps, not add them\n\nYou move toward a solution now. You don't wait for a green light to start, and you can name a real decision you made and acted on without checking first\n\nYou learn what's new before anyone tells you to - especially in AI tooling - and you share what you find with others\n\nYou get things adopted without authority: through a conversation, a well-built artifact, or clear instruction that carries your message beyond you being in the room\n\nYou're accountable for the outcome, not just the artifact. The real work often happens after launch - adoption, fixing wrong assumptions, cleanup after handoff - and you do that work yourself\n\nWe use AI to augment our own capabilities and invest deeply in helping every Vantan enhance their work through AI\n\nNo CS degree required, no formal engineering tenure required. Real, recent, shipped work is what clears the bar\n\nOpen 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.\n\nWhat you can expect as a Vanta’n:\nIndustry-competitive salary and equity\n\nComprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% of employee-only benefit premiums covered for most medical plans\n\n16 weeks paid Parental Leave for all new parents\n\nHealth & wellness stipend\n\nRemote workspace, internet, and cellphone stipend\n\nCommuter benefits for team members who report to the SF and NYC office\n\nFamily planning benefits\n\nMatching 401(k) contribution with immediate vesting\n\nFlexible PTO policy, plus 80 hours of Sick Time\n\n11 company-paid holidays\n\nVirtual team building activities, lunch and learns, and other company-wide events!\n\nOffices in SF, NYC, London, Dublin, Tel Aviv, and Sydney\n\nTo provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base pay ranges for all US-based job postings regardless of state. We set standard base pay ranges for all roles based on function, level, and country location, benchmarked against similar-stage growth companies. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors and may vary based on candidate location, skills, depth of work experience, and relevant licenses/credentials.\nAt Vanta, we are committed to hiring diverse talent of different backgrounds and as such, it is important to us to provide an inclusive work environment for all. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender identity, age, religion, sexual orientation, veteran or disability status, or any other protected class. As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage and welcome people of all backgrounds to apply.\nAbout Vanta\nWe started in 2018, in the wake of several high-profile data breaches. Online security was only becoming more important, but we knew firsthand how hard it could be for fast-growing companies to invest the time and manpower it takes to build a solid security foundation. Vanta was inspired by a vision to restore trust in internet businesses by enabling companies to improve and prove their security. From our early days automating security monitoring for compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 to creating the world's leading Trust Management Platform, our vision remains unchanged.\nNow more than ever, making security continuous-not just a point-in-time check- is essential. Thousands of companies rely on Vanta to build, maintain and demonstrate their trust- all in a way that's real-time and transparent.\nReferral Instructions\nIf you are being referred for the role, please contact that person to apply on your behalf.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5744,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Security Compliance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-21T20:45:55Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 30 · green card filings: 4","filings_12m":30,"filings_prev_12m":16,"green_card_filings_12m":4,"median_offered_wage_usd":180147,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":33,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.758,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":70,"expected_fill_days":60,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":207000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/vanta-senior-systems-designer-epd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/vanta-senior-systems-designer-epd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T06:52:06Z","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":10156,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"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":4519},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4519"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvanta-senior-systems-designer-epd"},{"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%2Fvanta-senior-systems-designer-epd"},{"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%2Fvanta-senior-systems-designer-epd"},{"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/vanta-senior-systems-designer-epd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvanta-senior-systems-designer-epd"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":147054}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"vanta.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":147054},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
