You will own GRC Engineering at Plaid — a foundational, high-ownership role defining an emerging discipline from the ground up. Today most of our compliance work is manual and point-in-time; you will turn it into an engineered system that is continuous, data-driven, and scalable, and set the technical direction for the field.
Responsibilities
- Architect GRC's Engineering Foundation
- Build the pipelines and codified source of truth the function runs on — controls, policies, and framework mappings captured as structured, version-controlled data and fed by live control and system state — so one control maps evidence across SOC 2, ISO, NIST, and beyond instead of being re-collected for every audit.
- Build Continuous Controls Monitoring: Automate evidence collection, control testing, and monitoring across cloud and internal systems, and write and tune the detection that flags drift and misconfiguration against baseline — so audit readiness is continuous and gaps surface the moment they appear, not at audit time.
- Turn Data into Risk Signal
- Build dashboards and SQL-driven reporting that turn raw control and risk data into KPIs, giving the team and leadership real-time visibility into risk posture.
- Drive Data-Informed Risk Assessments
- Conduct security and technology risk assessments and recommend mitigations using data — keeping the risk management program running while cutting its manual overhead.
- Automate Operational Toil: Eliminate the recurring manual work the team carries — evidence pulls, access and vendor reviews, questionnaires, risk-register upkeep, status reporting — with durable automation that gives time back across every workstream.
- Shift Compliance Left with Code and AI: Embed compliance checks into the CI/CD flow as policy-as-code so controls are validated as code ships, prototype self-healing policies reconciled against live infrastructure, and scale agentic / AI-assisted workflows across the function.
