What You'll Do

  • Build integrations between GRC workflows and internal systems using code, workflow automation, low-code platforms, or AI-assisted tooling.
  • Lead SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and FedRAMP initiatives, owning at least one certification end-to-end.
  • Drive continuous controls monitoring and automated evidence collection.
  • Lead technical risk assessments and control implementation with cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Improve audit readiness through automation and process optimization.
  • Mentor teammates and influence GRC strategy.
About You
  • 6+ years of cybersecurity GRC experience in high-growth technology environments.
  • Experience implementing and maturing GRC programs with pragmatic, engineered solutions.
  • Knowledge of SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and/or FedRAMP.
  • Proficiency in Python, JavaScript, or similar for production-grade automation.
  • Experience integrating GRC tooling with ticketing, identity, asset management, and cloud platforms.
  • Experience with AI-assisted workflows or LLM-powered tooling.
  • Strong communication skills translating risk into engineering requirements.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

The reasonably estimated base salary for this role ranges from $180,000 to $200,000, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience.
