Senior Security GRC Engineer

Senior Security Grc Engineer

Docusign is hiring a senior security grc engineer to design, build, and scale the next generation of automation-first grc solutions. This is a high impact, hands-on technical role for independent thinkers who are passionate about solving technical problems with a grc and security lens.

As a senior security grc engineer, you are a highly motivated self-starter, responsible for transforming traditional governance, risk, and compliance processes into intelligent, data-driven, and automated systems. You will architect solutions that integrate across enterprise grc platforms, cloud services, and data pipelines, applying advanced automation and ai/ml techniques to improve security outcomes, reduce audit fatigue, and enable continuous control monitoring.

The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise in security engineering, automation, and cloud platforms, along with the ability to translate compliance and risk requirements into scalable engineering solutions. This position offers the opportunity to shape how grc is delivered across the enterprise, working at the intersection of engineering, security, and business needs.

This position is an individual contributor role reporting to the senior manager of grc engineering.

responsibilities

• architect and implement automation frameworks that connect grc platforms, cloud services, and enterprise data systems to enable continuous control monitoring
• design and implement ai/ml-enabled solutions for risk scoring, control validation, evidence collection, and anomaly detection in compliance data
• build advanced dashboards and data pipelines that integrate metrics across multiple systems to provide actionable insights
• engineer scalable, automated and orchestration workflows to enforce policies, detect configuration drift, and remediate non-compliant systems at scale
• extend and enhance enterprise grc platforms (e.g., servicenow, onetrust) through custom workflows, connectors, and apis
• perform advanced scripting, orchestration, and data engineering (python, c#, sql, docker, kubernetes) to deliver scalable solutions
• evaluate and implement emerging technologies (e.g., generative ai, nlp, graph analytics) to improve grc outcomes
• act as a technical leader and mentor, guiding grc engineers on automation, cloud security controls, and secure system design
• operate grc processes and tools as a product, ensuring continuous value delivery and extending capabilities beyond traditional grc use cases
• partner with engineering, security, compliance, and audit teams to shape requirements and deliver solutions that scale
• champion automation-first grc practices that reduce audit fatigue and operational overhead
