Lead Security Engineer, GRC

About The Team

Anduril's Security Engineering team is looking for a Governance, Risk, and Compliance Engineering Lead to build the engineering core of our GRC program: the pipeline and tooling that turn Anduril's systems into continuous, defensible evidence of compliance, replacing the manual scramble that happens at audit time. You'll set technical direction for the function and grow the team building it.

What You'll Do

• Build the pipeline that collects evidence from Anduril's systems and maps it to a normalized control model
• Construct reusable collectors and schemas as reference architectures so each new control is assembly, not reinvention
• Stand up the system of record for controls, mappings, and evidence, and drive the build-vs-buy analysis
• Surface control drift and route findings to system owners with clear remediation and risk-acceptance paths
• Translate frameworks (CMMC, NIST 800-171, 800-53, FedRAMP, SOC 2) into automatable technical checks and pass/fail signals
• Set technical direction and mentor a growing engineering team

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years in security engineering, GRC, or a related role, including hands-on building of automation or data pipelines
• Strong programming ability in a general-purpose language (Go, Python, Rust, etc.)
• Hands-on experience operationalizing compliance frameworks (CMMC, NIST 800-171, 800-53, FedRAMP, SOC 2)
• Experience designing data collection and integration across cloud and SaaS systems (APIs, log/event pipelines, data lakes)
• Experience with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, AWS CDK) in a production capacity
• Track record of setting technical direction and mentoring engineers
• Able to work autonomously, take ownership of ambiguous problems, and drive alignment across partner teams
• Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with continuous control monitoring or GRC platforms (Vanta, Drata, Hyperproof, OneTrust), or building bespoke equivalents
• Familiarity with STIG/ConMon scanning, CSPM, or Kubernetes hardening
• Experience in fast-paced, high-growth defense technology environments

Benefits

The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package.
