About the Role
You'll operate as a senior individual contributor, leading work of moderate scope through influence, cross-functional collaboration, and guidance rather than people management. You'll partner with Product, R&D Engineering, Security Engineering, and adjacent teams to implement and operationalize security and compliance controls. You'll own end-to-end remediation of compliance and security findings, build scalable evidence collection and control-testing workflows, and help shape GRC automation and stronger operating rhythms across the Trust organization. Your work will help reduce manual articulation, improve control effectiveness, and make it easier to meet customer, audit, and security commitments at scale.
