- Experience setting up or implementing A/B tests / experiments on marketing pages using an experimentation or testing platform
- A collaborative mindset and excellent communication skills, with a track record of working closely with marketing, growth, and design teams
- A user-centric, results-driven approach—comfortable talking about tradeoffs, hypotheses, and impact rather than just implementation details

What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Web Experience Engineer to help build and optimize our marketing site, making drata.com a high-converting, high-performing destination

- Implement reusable blocks and templates that empower marketing to launch campaigns quickly
- Support content modeling and Contentful integration for new page types and components
- Partner with content and marketing teams to create robust, flexible content structures
- Implement and iterate on CRO-focused features (forms, CTAs, layouts, personalization, etc.)
- Implement tracking, analytics, and SEO enhancements across pages (meta tags, schema, sitemaps, redirects)
- Collaborate with growth teams to set up experiments (A/B tests) and measure their impact
- Improve Core Web Vitals, page load speed, and overall site performance, leveraging Next.js and Vercel

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 through 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 itself 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 and acquired trust automation company Safebase in 2025 for a staggering $250 million. Iconiq Growth and GGV Capital have led Drata's impressive funding rounds in previous years, but its aim now is to expand its presence. Through its acquisition of SafeBase, Drata has also gained its customers, among which are tech leaders such as Palantir, LinkedIn and OpenAI, which will undoubtedly help it maintain its leading edge.
