About the role

As a GRC Engineer at Zania, you are the bridge between our product and the enterprises that depend on it.
Once a customer is live and successful, you transition them to a steady state and move your energy to the next challenge.
In parallel, everything you learn in the field comes back into the product.

Own implementations end-to-end and close them.
You drive the engagement to closure - you don't let it become an open-ended managed service.
Drive product feedback. Synthesize what you hear across implementations into structured, prioritized product insights. Bring them directly to our product and engineering teams. Your input will shape the roadmap.
Build the implementation playbook. As an early team member, define how Zania implementations work at scale - the processes, templates, success metrics, and handoff criteria the team will run on as we grow.
Support pre-sales. Partner with the sales team on technical discovery and proof-of-concept engagements for strategic prospects, helping close deals by demonstrating deep GRC credibility.
Kick off a new enterprise implementation by running a structured goal-setting session with the customer's CISO and GRC lead - defining three measurable success outcomes and a 60-day plan to achieve them.
Lead the end-to-end deployment of Zania for a Fortune 500 financial services firm, drive the engagement to a signed-off go-live, and formally close the implementation against the goals you set on day one.

GRC Engineer
Every enterprise spends millions of dollars on Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC).
It's one of the most critical, yet universally painful, parts of running a business.
For decades, this industry has been dominated by legacy systems with notoriously low NPS scores, making it totally ripe for disruption.
Zania is building agentic AI for Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) to solve this massive problem.
We are on a rocketship trajectory, creating intelligent agents that automate and augment the most complex risk and compliance workflows.
We have found exceptional product-market fit and are scaling our team very quickly.
Our customers are the most notable enterprises in the world, including FAANG, Big 4 firms and a portfolio of top customers.
Zania is hiring the best.
Our team includes AI and Security leaders from Airbnb, Microsoft, Bain & Company, Deloitte, PwC, Brex, and Instacart.
Lead onboarding and deployment for enterprise customers from scoping and configuration through to a defined, celebrated go-live.
Design a steady-state monitoring framework for post-implementation customers - a lightweight quarterly check-in cadence with clear escalation criteria - so successful customers stay successful without requiring ongoing heavy investment.
