We're Dratanauts: a global crew of 600+ professionals united by a culture that rewards integrity, ownership, and raising the bar, no matter where in the world we're working from.

Why Join the Drata Team?
At Drata, you're not maintaining legacy compliance software - you're building the agentic AI platform defining what trust looks like for the next generation of companies. Here's what makes the work itself worth showing up for:

• Problems without a playbook: You'll work at the edge of AI and security, building agentic governance, continuous compliance, and real-time trust verification to solve problems that don't have an established answer yet. You're writing it as you go.

• Real ownership, not just process: Our values center on owning outcomes and raising the bar, not checking boxes. You're expected to have opinions and back them.

• A seat at the table: Your perspective is unique and valued. Open debate and diverse viewpoints are built into how decisions actually get made here, at every level.

• Growth at rocketship speed: Drata is scaling fast, which means scope grows fast too. High performers get more ownership, visibility, and experience.

• A crew, not just coworkers: Dratanauts consistently describe a "come as you are" culture with sharp, curious people—the kind of team that makes hard problems genuinely fun to solve. See what they say here and follow us on LinkedIn for company news, employee stories, and career updates.

• Reduce engineering escalations by diagnosing issues, documenting platform behavior, and providing clear technical remediations.

• Partner with Product and Engineering on UAT, bug reports, feature requests, customer use cases, and regional requirements.

• Share APAC customer trends and best practices across Customer Success and the broader company through enablement and technical documentation.

• 5+ years in security, compliance, GRC, or a related field is preferred.

• Hands-on experience with AI-powered tools or platforms, ideally applied to compliance or GRC workflows.

• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure; REST APIs and JSON; and scripting or development with technologies such as JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Python, Bash, Shell, or Unix.

• Experience partnering cross-functionally with Sales, Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Product, Engineering, QA, and Security teams.
