Work & culture

Vanta describes itself as remote-first in the US and hybrid in international offices. Its published principles are Put customers first, Win as one team, Bias for action, Lead with resilience, Decide with frameworks, and Do what it says on the tin. Public engineering and careers material emphasizes continuous learning, customer impact, security-minded execution, and regular connection for distributed teams.

Compensation

US job postings publicly provide role/location-specific base-pay ranges and equity; third-party compensation data indicates high total compensation for engineering roles, but company-wide compensation figures are unavailable. Public labor-filing data indicates H-1B/PERM sponsorship activity, which is role- and location-dependent rather than universal.

Medical, dental and vision coverage

401(k) matching

Paid parental leave

Generous/flexible PTO and paid sick time

Health and wellness support/stipend

Product & market

Pricing

Custom quote / sales-led SaaS. Vanta's official pricing page asks customers to request a demo and personalized pricing; the EULA supports subscription plans and trial services. Third-party procurement estimates commonly place annual subscriptions in the five-figure range, but those estimates are not official list prices.

—Large integration ecosystem and automated tests
—AI Agent for policy, evidence, questionnaire and remediation workflows
