About the role
- We're redefining customer communications by bringing voice, SMS, WhatsApp, and AI together into one seamless workspace.
- Our momentum comes from a simple idea: help teams work smarter, not harder.
- The result is higher revenue, faster resolutions, and teams that scale with confidence.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and operate technical controls that satisfy SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, and GDPR requirements across our cloud (AWS), SaaS, and corporate environments.
- Build and maintain integrations between our GRC platform (Drata) and source systems - IdP, cloud providers, ticketing, code repositories, HRIS, endpoint management - to automate evidence collection and continuous control monitoring.
- Support and progressively automate audit readiness: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 (and any future certifications such as HIPAA, FedRAMP, PCI as the strategy evolves), preparing evidence, walking auditors through controls, and remediating findings.
- Build and run the technical side of the vendor security program - questionnaire automation, tiering, evidence review, and ongoing monitoring of critical vendors.
- Partner with IT, Product, and Engineering to embed security and compliance requirements into the SDLC, change management, access reviews, and infrastructure provisioning.
- Contribute to incident response from the GRC side: maintain runbooks and policies, ensure regulatory and contractual notification timelines are met, and capture evidence and lessons learned.
- Partner with Legal/Privacy on GDPR obligations, data residency, DPAs, and customer security commitments.
- Author and maintain security policies and standards in clear, accurate language that engineers will actually read.
- We're working to create a place filled with diverse people who can enrich and learn from one another.
- We're committed to ensuring that everyone not only has a seat at the table but is valued and respected at it by providing equal opportunities to develop and thrive.
Requirements
- 5+ years in security, with at least 2-3 years in a GRC engineering, security engineering, or compliance automation role at a SaaS or cloud-native company.
- Strong working knowledge of SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF / 800-53, and GDPR, and what it takes to actually operate (not just pass) them.
- Hands-on experience with a modern GRC platform (Ideally Drata) - including building or extending its integrations, not just clicking through the UI.
- Working knowledge of risk management frameworks and vendor security assessment.
- Strong written communication - you can turn a control requirement into a clear ticket, runbook, or policy that gets adopted.
- Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate delivery and scale impact.
- Comfortable writing code (Python, Go, or similar) and working with cloud APIs (AWS), Terraform/IaC, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Solid understanding of cloud security, identity and access management, and how engineering teams ship software.
- Experience supporting external audits as a technical lead and remediating findings.
- Bonus: relevant certifications (CISA, CISSP, ISO 27001 LI/LA, AWS/GCP security), experience with privacy engineering, or prior work building a GRC function from early stage to audit-ready.
