Job Description

We are seeking a hands-on, builder-minded Senior Technical Compliance Analyst to serve as the operational engine behind our Trust & Security program.

You will maintain our SOC 2 Type II posture, drive our second entity from Type I to Type II, and act as the bridge between compliance requirements and engineering & delivery execution. You will also lay the technical groundwork to evolve us toward **CMMC 2.0**, ensuring we are ready for federal contracts without slowing down our product velocity.

**This is not a "compliance cop" role.** We practice **"Yes, if..."** security—you will influence architecture, automate policy enforcement, and unblock enterprise sales by ensuring the Security team has pristine, verifiable evidence at their fingertips.

What You will Do

Building Compliance into the DNA

• Compliance Partner: Partner with IT, Security, Product, Engineering, and Delivery early in the development lifecycle. Review new features, infrastructure changes, and vendor integrations to influence architectural decisions that bake in compliance by design—without creating friction or slowing sprints.
• Policy as Guardrails: Write, update, and operationalize security policies that accelerate delivery. Translate abstract SOC 2 and NIST controls into clear, developer-friendly tasks (e.g., IAM hardening, log retention, Zero Trust implementation).
• Compliance-as-Code: Where possible, automate policy enforcement in CI/CD pipelines so that security checks are invisible, automated, and frictionless for engineering teams.
• Enablement, Not Enforcement: Conduct lightweight compliance enablement sessions with engineering teams—showing them how to se

**This role is Hybrid Only. 3 days a week in our SF or NYC office.**
Actual compensation will be determined based on factors including skills, qualifications, experience, and geographic location.
