Job description
What You’ll Do
Own and maintain SOC 2, and drive HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 to completion
Automate compliance workflows with AI so audit readiness is continuous, not a scramble
Build the systems, evidence pipelines, and processes that let us operate in regulated environments at speed
Translate between engineering, HR, legal, and leadership. Turning ambiguous requirements into clear, tracked, delivered work
Own device management, network troubleshooting, and day-to-day IT operations
Stand up our IT foundation from scratch and choose the tooling we’ll grow into
Create clear, trusted visibility into compliance and IT status for leadership
Hold vendors and auditors accountable to timelines and outcomes
Who You Are
An infinite learner. Someone relentless in their curiosity — incredibly AI-curious, and always reaching for the tool or automation before the manual grind.
A builder, not a box-checker. You see compliance and IT as systems to engineer, not checklists to babysit.
A winning attitude. You thrive with extreme accountability, learning as a team, and both giving and receiving rapid feedback.
Extreme clarity in communication. You can bridge engineering, HR, legal, and leadership and leave every room more aligned than you found it.
Unafraid of failure. You take risks and treat failure as an opportunity to learn, grow, and be better the next time.
What We Require
A strong technical foundation. A computer science background or equivalent hands-on technical ability
Genuine fluency with AI tools, and a track record of using them to automate real work
Excellent written and verbal communication across technical and non-technical audiences
Comfort shipping in ambiguity, with a bias for driving clarity and removing blockers
The judgment to operate in regulated systems where the details matter
Nice to Have
Prior compliance experience, SOC 2 at minimum
Hands-on experience with HIPAA, GDPR, or ISO 27001
Experience standing up IT or device management for a growing team
