You will sit at the intersection of security, engineering, and compliance - translating regulatory and contractual requirements into automated controls, clear policies, and pragmatic engineering solutions. You are equally comfortable writing a policy as you are writing a script to enforce it. As a steward of Cape culture, you will partner with engineering and security leaders to identify and remediate risk, run our compliance programs (SOC 2, CMMC, and beyond), and support customers through security due diligence. You put people and data first and always use evidence to drive decisions. You'll join an existing GRC function and are passionate about building on its foundation, sharpening our automation, and helping it scale with the business. This role reports to our Head of Security., * Design, build, and maintain automated systems for continuous controls monitoring across our cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), CI/CD, and SaaS stack. * Own and mature our compliance programs end-to-end (SOC 2 Type II, CMMC, and future frameworks as they arise), including audit prep, evidence collection, and remediation tracking. * Provide subject matter expertise in: risk assessment, controls design, security policy, vendor/third-party risk, access review automation, and audit management. * Proactively assess technical and organizational risk, make data-driven recommendations, and implement scalable solutions rather than one-off manual fixes. * Roll up your sleeves to execute a full range of GRC duties - from writing policy to shipping the automation that enforces it. * Collaborate closely with Security and Engineering to implement solutions across risk management, policy, and compliance tooling. * Ensure successful rollout of key GRC programs such as risk registers, access reviews, vendor risk assessments, and audit cycles. * Lead and contribute to projects as an integral member of the Security team. * Support customers and prospects through security questionnaires, due diligence requests, and trust-building conversations, and build tooling to make that process faster., We reserve the right to make use of any unsolicited resumes received from outside recruiting agencies and / or individual recruiters without being responsible for payment of any fees asserted from the use of unsolicited resumes.
