- Perform internal risk assessments, control testing, and gap analyses
GRC Engineering & Automation

- Build and maintain automated evidence collection (via APIs, scripts, and integrations)
- Implement continuous control monitoring (CCM) to replace point-in-time audits
- Translate compliance requirements into technical controls and system configurations
- Validate control effectiveness through automated testing and monitoring
- Enable real-time or near-real-time risk visibility through dashboards and reporting systems
- Work with Security Engineering to continuously audit configurations and remediate drift programmatically
- Build scalable workflows for vendor risk assessments, re-assessments and tracking
- Integrate vendor data into centralized risk systems
- Automate intake, review, and monitoring processes for third-party security posture
- Develop self-service audit evidence systems and dashboards
- Partner with auditors to provide API-driven or system-generated evidence
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)

- Strong experience with scripting/programming (Python, Go, or similar)
- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)
- Deep understanding of security controls and how they map to compliance frameworks
- Experience integrating APIs and building automation pipelines
Bonus Points
- Experience with policy-as-code tools
- Experience with GRC automation platforms
- Familiarity with SIEM, SOAR, and security telemetry systems
- Experience building internal tools or platforms for compliance and risk management
- Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or cloud security certifications
What We Offer
- Competitive salary - $100,000-$140,000
