About the role
We are looking for a GRC Engineer to help grow the governance, risk, and compliance function that keeps Cape secure, trustworthy, and audit-ready as we scale. 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. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years in GRC engineering, security engineering, or compliance with hands-on technical work, startup experience preferred
- Demonstrable expertise across compliance frameworks (SOC 2, CMMC, FedRAMP, NIST CSF, GDPR), including how regulatory and contractual requirements translate into technical controls and day-to-day engineering decisions
- Successful track record of designing and implementing risk or compliance programs, with processes that are clear and auditable but adapt as the business and regulatory landscape change
- Strong prioritization and project management skills, especially when running audits against real deadlines
- Experience partnering with and influencing engineering and security leaders to drive risk decisions and audit outcomes, you build trust easily with both engineers and auditors
- A clear communication style, and the ability to translate technical risk into business terms for different audiences
