How Vanta Builds with AI, with VP of Engineering Iccha Sethi

Vanta utilizes AI to enhance security and compliance automation, viewing it as a co-pilot rather than a replacement in their development processes. AI is effectively used in testing and communication, enhancing speed and clarity, while its role in hiring focuses on candidates' openness to learning and experimenting with new tools. The company adapts its interview processes to reflect real-world scenarios where AI tools are accessible, emphasizing code review over code generation. AI has allowed engineering leaders to engage more closely with the codebase by automating routine tasks, thus creating tighter feedback loops between management and execution. The impact of AI varies with seniority, accelerating senior engineers' productivity while sometimes slowing down junior engineers who may struggle to define quality outcomes. Vanta's integration of AI highlights the importance of focusing on areas with clear ROI, fostering curiosity in hiring, redesigning interviews to incorporate AI tools, and prioritizing a strong review culture to ensure code quality.
