About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Staff Engineer, Compliance Automation to establish a highly rigorous, audit-ready compliance engineering function across Nscale’s global AI infrastructure. This hands-on role involves translating compliance requirements into durable engineering systems and automation, crucial for earning and maintaining customer trust as Nscale expands into regulated markets.
Responsibilities
- Lead the technical execution of compliance programs across ISO 27001 family, SOC 2 Type II, NIS2, NIST CSF, and other applicable frameworks.
- Build unified control mappings across frameworks to reduce duplicate evidence work and ensure controls satisfy multiple requirements simultaneously.
- Design evidence repositories, remediation workflows, and reporting structures that scale with the business.
- Own audit readiness for major certifications, including evidence completeness, cross-framework control mappings, and audit defensibility.
- Support external audit engagements by providing auditor-ready evidence and control narratives.
- Partner alongside the customer-trust lead to address deep technical control questions.
- Report on compliance posture, control effectiveness, and audit risk to senior leadership.
- Build automation-first compliance systems using modern GRC platforms such as Vanta, Drata, or equivalent.
- Implement continuous control monitoring to shift the function from point-in-time evidence collection to ongoing assurance.
- Evaluate and deploy AI-assisted workflows where they improve evidence collection, control validation, audit preparation, or remediation tracking.
- Reduce manual compliance effort through integrations, automation, and engineering-led tooling.
- Partner directly with infrastructure, platform, and product engineering teams to embed compliance into systems by design.
- Translate framework requirements into engineering-actionable controls.
- Build mechanisms for compliance validation in production environments instead of relying on manual checks.
- Help shape the broader GRC program architecture as it grows.
- Contribute to roadmap planning, tooling decisions, and team strategy.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in security compliance, GRC, or assurance engineering
- Deep, hands-on expertise across ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and NIST CSF
