This is a hands-on, technically focused individual contributor role responsible for solving complex GRC domain problems through automation, AI tooling, and platform engineering rather than through process management alone. The role owns the design and operationalization of compliance automation capabilities: integrating the GRC platform with cloud systems and internal tooling, building AI agents that automate evidence collection and control evaluation, and enabling continuous monitoring to replace point-in-time compliance snapshots with ongoing, automated assurance. The ideal candidate brings deep compliance framework knowledge, a strong engineering mindset, and demonstrated fluency with AI-assisted workflows to translate compliance requirements into scalable, automated solutions while remaining a capable contributor to day-to-day GRC operations.
