GRC Engineer
Location: San Jose CA/ Lehi UT
Duration: 6 Months
We are specifically looking for a technical GRC Engineer profile with strong development and cloud engineering experience.
Pure GRC consultants, audit-only profiles, SOC analysts, or governance-only candidates without strong backend/system-building experience will not be considered.
Must Haves
• Strong hands-on experience in Python backend development with REST API development
• Experience building microservices-based applications using modern architectures
• Hands-on expertise with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (AWS preferred)
• Strong understanding of GRC/compliance frameworks such as SOC2, ISO 27001, NIST, FedRAMP, etc.
• Experience building or supporting compliance automation, audit-ready systems, risk/control platforms, or governance workflows
• Strong knowledge of security implementation including RBAC, OAuth2/JWT, encryption, IAM, audit logging, and secure coding practices
• Experience integrating security/compliance controls into CI/CD pipelines (DevSecOps)
• Strong database experience with SQL/NoSQL (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Oracle, etc.)
• Candidate should have a builder mindset — not just policy/audit experience, but actual engineering and system implementation experience
