Security Engineer, GRC joins the Security Governance, Risk, and Compliance team to transform manual compliance processes into a scalable, engineered system. This foundational role focuses on building a codified source of truth for controls and policies while developing automated pipelines for continuous controls monitoring across cloud and internal systems. The engineer will turn raw risk data into real-time signals via SQL-driven reporting, automate operational tasks like evidence collection and vendor reviews, and shift compliance left by embedding policy-as-code into CI/CD workflows. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Python, SQL, AWS, Terraform, and OPA/Rego to manage infrastructure and security controls. The role also involves utilizing AI-assisted workflows and managing frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST to ensure the platform remains secure and compliant within a complex financial services environment.
