Role
Who you are
- 5+ years in GRC, security engineering, or related roles
- Experience working in cloud-native environments, AWS is a must
- Experience supporting audits such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar
- Relevant certifications such as CISA, CRISC, FAIR, AWS Security Specialty, ISO 27001/42001 Lead Auditor certifications a plus
- Experience integrating security and compliance into CI/CD pipelines
- Ability to work with APIs, automation tools, or scripting languages
- Experience implementing policy-as-code, compliance-as-code, or security-as-code frameworks
- Familiarity with tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar IaC frameworks
- Thinks in terms of systems and scale, not manual tasksâautomating repetitive work wherever possible
- Curious about and experienced with applying AI to operational problems, especially in security or compliance
- Comfortable experimenting with emerging technologies and rapidly evolving tooling
- Focused on signal over noise, reducing manual overhead while increasing accuracy
- Strong understanding of frameworks such as SOC2 Type II, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and CJIS
- Experience with third-party risk management and vendor assessments
- Ability to translate regulatory requirements into technical controls
- Automation-first thinking
- Strong problem-solving skills and ownership mentality
- Ability to balance security, compliance, and business needs
- Ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, security, and business stakeholders
- Feeling uneasy that you havenât ticked every box? Thatâs okay; weâve felt that way too. Studies have shown women and minorities are less likely to apply unless they meet all qualifications. We encourage you to break the status quo and apply to roles that would make you excited to come to work every day
What the job involves
- 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 environmentsâtransforming 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 dataâhelping evolve GRC into a measurable, scalable, and product-aligned function
- 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
- Partner Across the Business:
- Work with Product and Engineering teams on security and privacy requirements
- Support customer security reviews, RFIs, and trust center initiatives
- Collaborate with Legal and Privacy teams on regulatory alignment
- Third-Party Risk Management:
- Automate vendor assessments using AI-assisted questionnaire analysis and response validation
- Build workflows to ingest, analyze, and score third-party risk data at scale
- What Success Looks Like:
- GRC processes are automated and integrated into engineering workflows
- Audit readiness becomes continuous rather than periodic
- Risk is measured using real-time data and clear metrics, tied to revenue
- Engineering teams experience GRC as an enabler, not a blocker
- Customer trust and security assurance scale with company growth
- Manual GRC processes are replaced with intelligent, automated workflows
- AI-assisted systems reduce audit preparation time and improve evidence quality
- GRC insights directly influence engineering prioritization and business decision-making
- The First 30 Days:
- Ramp on systems, architecture, and existing GRC processes
- Build relationships with Engineering, Security, and Legal
- Identify initial automation opportunities
- The First 60 Days:
- Begin implementing automation for control testing and evidence collection
- Contribute to audit readiness and ongoing compliance efforts
- Define KPIs/KRIs for risk visibility
- 90 Days & Beyond:
- Deliver measurable improvements in GRC automation and efficiency
- Launch initial AI-assisted workflows
- Influence roadmap for long-term GRC engineering strategy using a crawl, walk, run approach
Our take
Public vehicle surveillance provides valuable insights to emergency services for the prevention of crime, but bringing information together to create leads is difficult. There's no standardised system for inter-city vehicle surveillance, and this makes it difficult for communities and law enforcement services to work together.
Flock Safety provides surveillance equipment that aims to improve the abilities of law enforcement and homeowner associations to communicate data with each other. The company focuses on vehicle surveillance, innovating on existing technology by using machine learning to categorise vehicles by color, license plate, state, and other data points.
Whilst automated surveillance equipment is used daily within federal police forces, Flock Safety builds technology systems that provide a means for smaller law enforcement agencies to quantify and share surveillance data easily. It's caught on too, with a funding round of $275 million awarded in 2025 that will be used to expand its manufacturing capabilities. lock Safety, a U.S. startup developing surveillance technology, has raised $275 million in new funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, as it invests in a manufacturing facility and expands into drone products, the company told Reuters. funding behind it, This data can then be automatically processed to help develop leads, a time-consuming process that would usually have to be completed manually.
