Senior Financial Systems Engineer

At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. 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.

As a Senior Financial Systems Engineer at Vanta, you will own the end-to-end health and evolution of the tech stack, data, and system integrations across our Procure to Pay and Travel and Expense verticals, and be the technical lead for these domains.

Vanta's Financial Systems function builds, maintains, and supports the tools that Vanta's Finance & Accounting operate on. The team builds scalable, integrated, and high value solutions that enable Finance, Accounting, and Procurement to move quickly without trading away accuracy or auditability.

Vanta's Finance Systems team is early, and Procurement and Travel and Expense have historically had little systems representation. That makes this a rare chance to own foundational decisions rather than inherit them. You will be re-architecting Zip end-to-end, building and enhancing new system integrations, and creating best in class AI automations with the autonomy to set the standards the team builds on as we scale.

What you'll do as a Senior Financial Systems Engineer at Vanta:

• Own the architecture, configuration, and operational health of Zip (P2P), including workflows, integrations, customizations, and agentic buildout
• Partner with Procurement, Accounts Payable, Legal, and GRC to gather, define, and translate requirements into product roadmap and features
• Build out and maintain a best in class T&E system, making sure to focus on end user experience, enablement, and full system integration
• Architect and maintain integrations between NetSuite and adjacent systems (Salesforce, Stripe, Anrok, Tesorio, Workato, Zip, Snowflake, Slack) using iPaaS tooling and direct API connections
• Utilize AI to build best in class finance systems solutions, while making sure to utilize leading AI governance frameworks (human-in-the-loop, auditability, SOX compliance)

How to be successful in this role

• 5+ years of hands-on Financial Systems Analyst/Engineering/Management in a high-growth SaaS environment, including leading projects from requirements gathering to go-live support
• Deep expertise in the P2P function, as well as the configuration and administration of procurement tools (Zip, Coupa, Ariba, or similar)
• Experience building and owning multi-system integrations using iPaaS platforms and API endpoints (Workato, Boomi, or similar)
• Practical understanding of AI governance frameworks (human-in-the-loop, auditability, SOX compliance), with a demonstrated understanding of how and when to embed AI into finance and accounting workflows
• Strong written communication and design documentation skills
• Experience with NetSuite and CPQ is a nice to have
• Proficiency in SQL is a nice to have
• Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future employer sponsorship.
• Open 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.

About Vanta

We 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.

Now 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.
