Compliance Engineering

GRC Engineer United States (Remote) Ideally east coast

Do you approach compliance like an engineer, automating, scaling, and embedding it into systems?

My client is one of the fastest growing and most exciting AI technology start-ups in the world. They are rapidly emerging as a leader in their field, having secured multiple rounds of VC funding. They are an engineering-first organization with an exceptionally high bar. Candidates who succeed here typically come from start-up or scale-up environments and are comfortable working in ambiguity while building from the ground up.

They are looking for a highly technical, hands-on GRC Engineer who operates more like a security engineer than a traditional compliance professional. A mindset focused on engineering compliance into systems, not maintaining frameworks

Design and implement scalable, engineered compliance systems (not manual processes)
Automate compliance and control monitoring across cloud environments
Translate regulatory requirements into real technical controls embedded in infrastructure and workflows
Work hands-on with engineering teams to integrate security into systems and CI/CD pipelines
Read and understand code (ideally Python) to build or support automation workflows
Support customer and sales teams with technical security discussions and compliance queries
Drive broader compliance initiatives (SOC2, ISO27001, etc.) Strong technical background (cloud, infrastructure, security engineering)
Experience building or automating compliance systems (not just maintaining them)
Hands-on experience with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
Experience embedding compliance into CI/CD or engineering workflows
Python or scripting for automation
Compliance-as-code / continuous compliance tooling
Very competitive compensation package including equity with significant upside potential.

This role is for someone who thinks like an engineer, builds systems (not spreadsheets), and wants to make compliance scalable, automated, and embedded.
