Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~61% per draw at Level IV). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.

Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

16 transfer filings in the last year, covering 16 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • You'll collect the evidence, write the control documentation, and sit across from the auditor yourself.
  • Day to day, you'll be managing audits, controls, and risk assessments.

Responsibilities

  • Own our certification roadmap end to end: scope each certification, build the control set, collect and organize evidence, and represent TML directly to auditors through to close.
  • Manage recurring compliance processes on a set cadence: control testing, audit prep and response, risk register maintenance, and policy attestations.
  • Answer compliance and risk questions from engineering, security, and product teams directly, by building enough technical fluency across our infrastructure, model deployment, and data handling to do so without escalating every question.
  • Build and maintain the tooling and documentation that make the next audit cycle faster than the last one.

Requirements

  • 7+ years related experience across technology and cybersecurity Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), with demonstrated breadth across all three disciplines.
  • Experience leading a SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP or comparable certification from scoping through audit close.
  • Experience managing a recurring compliance process, such as control testing, risk register maintenance, or policy attestations.

Nice to have

  • We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet all preferred qualifications.
  • Background as a software engineer or in a technical engineering role, now applied to GRC, evidenced by scripts, tools, or automations you've personally built for evidence collection, control testing, or audit workflows.
  • Experience translating complex compliance requirements into scalable automation using AI agents and custom built tooling.
  • Experience growing a GRC function's capability (new certifications, tooling, or processes) as a company scaled.
  • You want to run the certification yourself, end to end.
  • You're the one in the room with the auditor, walking through evidence.
  • You can hold this week's deadlines and next year's roadmap at the same time.
  • Visa sponsorship: We sponsor visas.

Compensation

  • Depending on background, skills and experience, the expected annual salary range for this position is $225,000 - $350,000.

Benefits

  • Thinking Machines offers generous health, dental, and vision benefits, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave, and relocation support as needed.
  • Identify gaps in current compliance coverage as the company adds new products, infrastructure, or jurisdictions, and propose what needs to change before it becomes a blocker.
  • Experience learning new technical domains quickly and translating them for non-technical stakeholders.

Company info

  • The mission of Thinking Machines is to build AI that extends human will and judgment.

Visa & Work Authorization

  • We sponsor visas.
  • While we can't guarantee success for every candidate or role, if you're the right fit, we're committed to working through the visa process together.
