What the job involves
- As a Solutions Architect at Drata, you are a customer-facing technical expert for the world’s most advanced security and compliance automation platform.
- SAs execute within the Customer Success function at Drata and work closely with Engineering to drive fast and smooth audit readiness programs, create and deliver best practices for a broad range of complex integrations and APIs, and advocate on behalf of customers’ needs for a rapidly growing platform.
- You’ll build trust and empathy with Drata’s customers as you help connect their infrastructure, diagnose and remediate gaps, and advise them toward a continuous and self-sufficient compliance posture
- Be a technical expert on Drata’s entire platform, covering third-party integrations via APIs and webhooks, desktop applications, logging, database architecture, scripting, and documentation
- Lead customer interactions with CEOs, CTOs, CISOs, IT directors, and other security and compliance teams to ensure a clear path toward achieving success with multiple security, governance, risk, and compliance frameworks
- Develop deep and broad knowledge of critical systems affecting security including Google Workspace and GCP, Microsoft 365 and Azure, GitHub, JIRA, MDMs, multiple HRIS and background check providers, and others
- Stage, reproduce, and document platform behavior and customer issues to lead to quick resolutions, bug tickets, and new feature requests
- Partner with Customer Success and Sales to demonstrate and show value while solutioning best practices for unique and varying technical configurations

Our take
Traditional manual compliance workflows are tedious, error-prone and extremely hard to scale, which presents special difficulties for rapidly growing companies in maintaining strong data security. Drata enables companies to manage compliance easily, by automatic monitoring and evidence collection, building a single picture of risk across the company.
The company has several competitors offering compliance automation solutions, including Vanta and Secureframe , but Drata is unique in automating the tasks themselves rather than generating notifications for teams to action. This approach has garnered Drata a client base of thousands of companies including bambooHR, Notion and Abnormal.
Drata has grown swiftly since its 2020 founding. Iconiq Growth and GGV Capital have led Drata's impressive funding rounds. It intends to use its influx of cash to invest heavily in research and development, and to roll out new features for auditors and startups.
