📋 Description

• Engineer **technical risk solutions** that reduce operational, cyber, and resilience risk through architecture, automation, and control design — starting on day one with minimal onboarding. • Translate **risk requirements, policies, and standards** into implementable technical patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures. • Prioritize and influence **solution design decisions** based on risk impact, blast radius, and recovery dependencies. • Partner with platform, cloud, security, and SRE teams to embed risk controls directly into infrastructure and pipelines. • Evaluate control effectiveness using **technical signals and evidence**, not just procedural compliance checklists. • Independently support the requirements of internal control, internal audit, and external audit engagements, including evidence gathering, control testing, and remediation tracking. • Deploy and manage security software, assess and apply required security patches on Security Appliances (servers). • Support the Security Appliances **24x7 on-call rotation** to enable continuous data collection. • Drive initiatives such as secure cloud architecture, isolated recovery environments, identity and access hardening, and infrastructure resilience. • Provide informed, immediate guidance on **risk tradeoffs and compliance requirements** to engineering and business stakeholders. • Contribute to lightweight process definition where needed, always in service of enabling better technical and audit outcomes.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in security engineering, platform engineering, SRE, or technical risk roles, with a **significant portion spent directly supporting risk, audit, or compliance functions**. • Demonstrated, ready-to-apply experience with audit lifecycles, control testing, and compliance evidence collection — able to engage with auditors and risk stakeholders immediately without extensive training. • Proven ability to **design and influence technical solutions** across teams. • Strong understanding of how risk manifests in distributed systems, cloud platforms, and automation. • Comfortable operating at the intersection of engineering teams and risk/compliance stakeholders. • Ability to explain complex technical risk concepts to non-technical audiences without losing fidelity. • Experience in production support and troubleshooting.
