Security GRC & Compliance

Professionals in this role design and scale compliance programs that enable AI companies to operate securely across multiple regulatory frameworks—SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, and emerging AI governance standards. Day-to-day, they conduct risk assessments, build automation to embed compliance into engineering workflows, respond to customer security questionnaires, and manage audit readiness across cloud infrastructure and AI-specific controls. What distinguishes this work is the technical depth required: rather than purely policy-focused compliance, these roles demand hands-on experience implementing controls, scripting automation, and translating complex regulatory requirements into practical controls that don't slow product velocity. They typically sit within security organizations reporting to CISOs or governance leaders, partnering closely with engineering, product, and sales teams to balance compliance rigor with business growth in fast-moving AI environments.
