The Opportunity

We are hiring a Senior GRC Engineer to build and scale an engineering-driven, automation-first, and AI-enabled approach to Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC).

This role goes far beyond traditional GRC. You will design and implement intelligent, automated systems that integrate directly into our engineering and cloud environments—transforming compliance from a manual, point-in-time exercise into a continuous, real-time capability.

You will leverage automation, data pipelines, and emerging AI/LLM capabilities to reduce manual effort, improve signal quality, and enable proactive risk management.

This is a high-impact role at the intersection of security engineering, compliance, and data—helping evolve GRC into a measurable, scalable, and product-aligned function.

The Skillset

Build GRC Engineering Capabilities

Design and implement policy-as-code and compliance-as-code frameworks
Automate control testing and evidence collection using cloud and CI/CD telemetry
Integrate GRC processes with engineering tools and workflows
Develop reusable tooling and internal platforms for scalable, self-service compliance
Build and deploy production-grade automation leveraging LLMs and AI tooling (e.g., for control mapping, evidence analysis, and anomaly detection)
Own the design, development, and maintenance of core GRC automation systems and services

Drive Risk Visibility and Measurement

Develop KPIs and KRIs using engineering and cloud data
Support risk quantification efforts using frameworks such as FAIR
Maintain and improve the security risk register
Apply data modeling and AI techniques to identify emerging risks and reduce false positives
Build automated risk scoring and prioritization models using real-time engineering and security data

Support Audits and Certifications

Lead and support audits including SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, FedRAMP and CJIS
Build automated audit readiness and continuous compliance processes
Serve as a key point of contact for internal and external auditors
