About The Position

Amex GBT’s Security GRC team is seeking a Senior Security GRC Engineer to design, build, and scale automation and AI-driven solutions for its governance, risk, and compliance program. The role combines security engineering and GRC, translating manual, evidence-heavy processes into automated, data-driven workflows to reduce risk, improve control coverage, and enable more time for higher-value analysis. The position develops automation pipelines and AI/LLM solutions, integrates GRC platforms with security and IT systems, and establishes quality controls for AI-assisted work. It collaborates with GRC analysts, program managers, and teams across security, engineering, data, and business to align improvements with security and compliance goals. The role is located in the United States.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information security, information systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
5+ years of experience in security engineering, GRC, or a related field, with demonstrated experience building automation or AI-enabled solutions.
Strong programming or scripting skills, such as Python or JavaScript, and experience with APIs, databases, and workflow automation tools.
Hands-on experience applying AI or machine learning technologies, including LLMs and generative AI, to real-world business or security use cases.
Understanding of cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, and SOC 2, and regulatory compliance requirements such as GDPR and PCI DSS.
Experience with GRC platforms such as Onspring, Archer, MetricStream, or similar tools, including configuration or integration work.
Familiarity with risk assessment methodologies, control frameworks, and audit evidence requirements.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to translate complex manual processes into automated solutions.
Excellent communication and reporting skills, including the ability to present technical solutions and their risk and compliance impact to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain automation pipelines to collect, normalize, and validate compliance and control evidence across security and business systems.
Evaluate, prototype, and deploy AI and LLM-based solutions for GRC workflows, including control testing, evidence review, policy mapping, and risk narrative generation.
Integrate GRC tools with security and IT systems through APIs to enable automated data flows, dashboards, and reporting.
Develop and maintain scripts, bots, and workflow tools to automate recurring GRC tasks such as evidence gathering, control monitoring, and audit preparation.
Partner with Security GRC analysts and program managers to identify manual, repetitive processes and re-engineer them as scalable automated solutions.
Establish guardrails, testing, and quality controls to ensure AI-assisted outputs are accurate, explainable, and compliant with regulatory and audit requirements.
Monitor and report on the performance, reliability, and risk posture of automation and AI tools used within the GRC program.
Stay current with emerging AI, automation, and GRC technologies and recommend tools and techniques to improve program maturity.
Collaborate with security, engineering, data, and business teams to align automation initiatives with broader security posture and compliance goals.
