We are looking for a Lead Security Engineer to join our team. This role sits at the crossroads of legal/compliance obligations and hands-on engineering execution - interpreting raw regulatory or audit language, breaking it down into actionable technical tasks, driving that work through to completion, and managing the evidence-gathering process for external audits. Over time, this program will grow to encompass additional government and commercially regulated clients, as well as country-specific privacy frameworks across the UK, EU, Australia, and Canada.

Responsibilities
- Convert regulatory and audit language into concrete, actionable backlog items by transforming HIPAA gap assessments, NIST 800-53 privacy controls, and audit findings into well-defined Azure DevOps Features, Stories, and Tasks complete with acceptance criteria, effort estimates, and assigned ownership, such as reshaping "HIPAA privacy requirements not yet defined" into a clear engineering deliverable
- Monitor delivery progress and keep the backlog organized across live compliance initiatives,



including access control, data classification, log scrubbing, audit logging, data retention and deletion, and data access restrictions, closing gaps in ownership or sprint planning before they turn into RAID-log issues
- Develop and run test cases confirming that controls operate as intended, such as privileged-access limitations, time-bound SailPoint access, PII minimization, and deletion-on-request functionality, capturing pass/fail results as supporting documentation
- Manage the complete audit support lifecycle, from intake through tracking and fulfillment of third-party auditor evidence requests, such as Schellman FedRAMP Significant Change Reviews, linking each request to its corresponding NIST 800-53 control, working with engineering, ISRM, Privacy, and Legal to compile artifacts, and meeting the auditor's timeline
- Generate ongoing compliance status updates for stakeholders and develop streamlined a
