The role

What you need

6+ years of experience in GRC, information security, risk management, or IT audit, preferably in a SaaS or cloud-native environment
Strong understanding of security and compliance frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF 2.0, and CIS Controls; working knowledge of ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF
AI-native mindset: you use AI tools—LLMs, agents, automation—for real, substantive work including analysis, drafting, evidence gathering, and workflow automation. You apply judgment about where AI creates leverage and where a human must stay in the loop
Proficiency with GRC platforms for evidence management and control testing (Drata, Vanta, AuditBoard, ServiceNow GRC, or equivalent)
Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and the security and compliance posture tooling that runs on them (CSPM, SIEM, identity platforms)
Experience supporting external audits across security or privacy domains, including evidence collection, control walkthroughs, and auditor interaction
Hands-on experience implementing automated control collection and continuous control monitoring—designing pipelines and integrations that pull evidence directly from systems rather than relying on manual artifact submission or self-attestation
Working knowledge of risk registers, control libraries, and policy governance lifecycles
Strong written communication, analytical thinking, and attention to detail; able to produce clear audit responses, risk narratives, and control documentation under deadline
6+ years of experience in security engineering, DevSecOps, GRC tooling, or compliance automation—with ownership of both the policy/control side and the technical implementation
Coding ability that ships: Python or equivalent—you can call APIs, build integrations, schedule jobs, and deploy a working pipeline without help. Show us something you built
Hands-on experience building integrations with GRC platforms via APIs or native connectors, and direct evidence collection from cloud environments (AWS Config, GCP SCC, Azure Policy, or equivalent)
Demonstrated professional use of AI and LLM tools to automate documentation, analysis, or workflow tasks—with clear judgment about where AI creates leverage and where guardrails are required
Version control and CI/CD practices (Git, GitHub Actions, or equivalent); comfort with infrastructure-as-code concepts.
