About the Role

We're looking for a software engineer to join our Source Control and Governance team within our Developer Experience group. In this role, you'll design and build the tooling and automation that keeps our AI compute and bare metal infrastructure platform compliant, secure, and audit-ready.

You'll work across major compliance frameworks (SOC 2, SOX, ISO 27001), writing policy-as-code, building compliance pipelines, integrating security scanning into CI/CD, and automating evidence collection workflows. This is a collaborative, high-impact team where your engineering work directly supports our ability to serve enterprise customers and meet evolving regulatory requirements.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build automated compliance pipelines that enforce policies on infrastructure changes and compute provisioning, bringing a CI/CD-driven approach to governance workflows.
  • Implement policy-as-code using tools like OPA/Rego, Conftest, or InSpec — ensuring compliance rules are version-controlled, peer-reviewed, and enforced automatically across environments.
  • Automate audit evidence collection for SOC 2, SOX, and ISO 27001, replacing manual processes with continuous pipelines that produce timestamped, immutable artifacts.
  • Build and maintain compliance dashboards and reporting to surface posture scores and framework coverage for internal stakeholders and customers.

What We're Looking For

  • 7+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field.
  • Demonstrated mastery of Go or Python, including concurrency primitives, memory management, and performance optimization at scale
  • Experience designing and building CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Buildkite, with a solid understanding of pipeline architecture and design patterns.
  • Familiarity with Linux systems and networking fundamentals.
  • A self-directed working style with the ability to take ownership of workstreams on a small, collaborative team.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with policy-as-code tools (OPA/Rego, Sentinel, Checkov, InSpec).
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, SOX, ISO 27001, or NIST CSF — you don't need to be an auditor, but an understanding of controls and why they matter goes a long way.
  • Background in cloud infrastructure, bare metal, or compute platform environments.

Why This Role

As an AI compute provider, we operate in a space where the regulatory landscape is actively evolving. That means the work here goes beyond maintaining a static set of controls — you'll be building the systems that define how AI infrastructure compliance works in practice. You'll ship tooling that has a direct line to enterprise customer trust, and you'll help solve problems that don't have established playbooks yet.

This is a small team with a high degree of autonomy, meaningful greenfield projects, and real opportunity to grow as the space grows around you.

The base salary range for this role is $165,000 to $242,000. The starting salary will be determined based on job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and market location. We strive for both market alignment and internal equity when determining compensation. In addition to base salary, our total rewards package includes a discretionary bonus, equity awards, and a comprehensive benefits program (all based on eligibility). 

What We Offer

The range we’ve posted represents the typical compensation range for this role. To determine actual compensation, we review the market rate for each candidate which can include a variety of factors. These include qualifications, experience, interview performance, and location.

In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a variety of benefits to support your needs. The benefits below reflect our US-based offerings for full-time employees; for roles in other locations, benefits vary and are shared during the hiring process. These include:
