TL;DR · Security & Compliance Engineer

Security & Compliance Engineer, Quantum joins the IBM Quantum security team to drive and automate the organization's compliance program across quantum software, cloud services, and infrastructure environments. This role focuses on maintaining a strong security posture by designing and automating compliance workflows, evidence collection, and audit processes to ensure scalability and regulatory readiness. You will proactively identify control gaps and build automated tooling to monitor controls continuously, reducing manual effort for SOC 2 and FedRAMP certifications. Key technical requirements include experience with SOC 2, IAM, data encryption, vulnerability management, and security incident response. You will utilize IBM Cloud, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines while employing Python, Bash, and GRC automation platforms. The work involves securing a high-tech, sensitive quantum computing environment through integrated security engineering and DevSecOps practices.

What you'll do

  • Design and automate compliance workflows to reduce manual effort in control monitoring and evidence gathering.
  • Manage the organization's compliance posture against frameworks such as SOC 2 and FedRAMP.
  • Build automated compliance tooling to continuously monitor controls and flag security gaps.
  • Integrate compliance requirements and checks into CI/CD pipelines and the secure software development lifecycle.
  • Identify control gaps and perform readiness assessments for external audits.
  • Map core security principles like IAM and encryption to specific compliance controls.
  • Monitor compliance across cloud infrastructure, containerization, and identity management systems.
  • Articulate compliance requirements, risks, and remediation plans to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or equivalent work experience.
  • Master's Degree (preferred).
  • 4+ years of experience in compliance, security engineering, audit, or related roles.
  • Direct experience in SOC 2 compliance programs, including control design, evidence collection, and supporting external audits.
  • Experience building or operating compliance automation tooling to monitor controls and collect evidence.
  • Solid understanding of IAM, data encryption, vulnerability management, and security incident response.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (IBM Cloud), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud-based identity management.
  • Experience in DevSecOps or secure SDLC environments, integrating compliance checks into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience supporting FedRAMP, including NIST SP 800-53 controls and system security plans (preferred).
  • Experience developing automation solutions using Python, Bash, or similar scripting languages (preferred).
