Staff Technical Program Manager - Compliance Architecture

Overview

Staff Compliance Architect serving as the compliance team's technical subject matter expert, embedding scalable, auditable compliance requirements into product and infrastructure delivery and partnering with Engineering, Product, Compliance Engineering, and Authorization Operations.

What you'll do

• Define and maintain enterprise privacy baseline requirements, embedding them into the SDLC by translating regulatory and assurance expectations (e.g., NIST 800-53, FedRAMP/DoD IL5 privacy-relevant controls, and ISO 27701/ISO 42001) into measurable technical criteria and acceptance tests.
• Establish standardized privacy-by-design patterns (data minimization, purpose limitation, retention/deletion, privacy-safe telemetry, access controls) and partner with Engineering/Compliance Engineering to automate validation and evidence collection through CI/CD guardrails and policy-as-code.
• Conduct privacy architecture reviews and operational readiness assessments to identify data-handling risks (collection, use, sharing, storage, logging), and provide actionable remediation guidance aligned to engineering realities and delivery timelines.
• Maintain authoritative data flow diagrams and processing narratives, ensuring data classifications, processing purposes, transfer points, trust boundaries, and retention expectations are current, consistent, and audit-ready.
• Evaluate significant changes for impacts to data processing scope, trust boundaries, and authorization boundaries; drive cross-functional alignment across Engineering, Product, Security, and Legal/Privacy stakeholders and ensure decisions are documented for auditability.

What you'll need

• Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in compliance, security architecture, compliance engineering, or technical audit with a focus on translating control requirements into technical verification mechanisms.
• Proven experience performing architecture reviews and gap analysis against FedRAMP High or DoD IL5 frameworks.
• Proficiency in public cloud services (AWS, Azure, or GCP) paired with a strong track record of producing architecture diagrams, control narratives, and driving outcomes through engineering partnerships.

Nice to have

• Experience building automated data governance frameworks or compliance verification systems specifically tailored to generative AI applications and large language model (LLM) data trust boundaries.
• Experience building automated control validation systems such as policy-as-code or CI/CD control gates.
• Deep familiarity with identity and authorization architectures, trust boundaries, and professional compliance certifications such as CISSP, CISA, CCSP, or specialized cloud security credentials.
