TL;DR · Security Governance Engineer, Secure, Build & Change

As a Sr. Security Governance Engineer, you will join the Assurance team to transition legacy governance into a continuous, automated engineering discipline. You will translate enterprise security policies and regulatory requirements into measurable, technically actionable controls, moving away from manual spreadsheets toward a model where controls are code. Your daily responsibilities include developing security policies, managing the policy lifecycle, and defining machine-readable requirements using tools like OPA/Rego or cloud-native frameworks. You will serve as a subject matter expert for domains such as IAM, Cloud, and Data Protection, ensuring traceability from regulations to implementation. The role requires proficiency with NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and SOC 2, alongside knowledge of AWS, Azure, or GCP, to build scalable governance integrated into modern CI/CD workflows.

What you'll do

  • Translate enterprise security policies and regulatory requirements into measurable, technically actionable controls.
  • Develop and maintain security policies, technical standards, and control requirements.
  • Manage the policy lifecycle including versioning, approvals, exceptions, and change management.
  • Define machine-readable policy and control requirements for Governance-as-Code initiatives.
  • Maintain a common control framework with clear objectives, ownership, and validation criteria.
  • Act as the Subject Matter Expert for assigned domains like IAM, Cloud, or Data Protection.
  • Interpret regulations to assess gaps, exceptions, and emerging risks while recommending improvements.
  • Provide a governance perspective during architecture and design discussions with engineering teams.

What we're looking for

  • U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Residency is required.
  • 2+ years of experience in information security governance, security engineering, technology risk, or related functions.
  • Strong grasp of security policies, standards, control frameworks, and governance processes.
  • Familiarity with NIST CSF, NIST SP 800-53, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or PCI DSS.
  • Ability to translate regulatory and security requirements into measurable control objectives.
  • Working knowledge of cloud security (AWS, Azure, or GCP), IAM, application, infrastructure, and data security.
  • Understanding of control design (preventive and detective), risk assessment, and exception management.
  • Familiarity with modern development practices, cloud environments, and CI/CD (preferred).
