Software Engineer, Platform Governance & Risk
About The Position
The Platform Governance & Risk Lead connects Platform Engineering with enterprise risk and control functions, helping ensure platform technology assets are governed appropriately throughout their lifecycle. The role focuses on governance and controls for technology assets represented in ServiceNow, working across the platform organization to create visibility, establish accountability, coordinate remediation, and make risk requirements actionable. Although the position is within an engineering job family, it is not a traditional software-development role. It combines technology governance, operational risk, analytics, stakeholder management, and program execution in a regulated enterprise environment. The role is based in Jacksonville, Florida, with a hybrid schedule of three days in the office and two days virtual. Current and future sponsorship are not available.

- Ability to interpret governance requirements and convert them into clear, executable actions for technical teams.
- Strong analytical, reporting, data-management, and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication across technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
- Ability to influence outcomes and drive accountability in a complex matrixed organization.
Nice To Haves

- Translate enterprise risk and control requirements into practical actions for engineering and product teams.
- Coordinate documentation, evidence, and follow-up across technical owners, control partners, and enterprise risk stakeholders.
- Identify recurring or systemic governance issues and drive durable improvements rather than treating each finding as an isolated event.
- Escalate material risks and blockers with clear context, ownership, impact, options, and required decisions.
- Help embed governance into the Platform Engineering operating model so that controls are addressed through normal planning and delivery practices.
