Mid Level Angular Developer Remote Jobs in Chicago, IL

We're looking for a mid-level GRC Engineer to help us scale our compliance program through automation and run audits across SOC 2, ISO 27001, and SOX. This is a hands-on, technical role where you'll spend as much time writing code and integrating systems as you do reviewing controls. You'll serve as the bridge between Security, Engineering, and the business by transforming manual, evidence-heavy compliance work into automated, repeatable processes while helping leadership understand and prioritize risk.

This role is ideal for someone with GRC or security experience who wants to move beyond spreadsheets and checklists into building the tooling that makes a compliance program efficient, scalable, and audit-ready year-round.

In this role you will:

Automation & Tooling

• Build and maintain automation for continuous control monitoring, evidence collection, and audit readiness through scripts, APIs, and GRC platform integrations
• Integrate compliance workflows with cloud providers, identity systems, ticketing platforms, and CI/CD pipelines to automatically collect control data and evidence
• Reduce manual compliance work by codifying control checks and pulling evidence directly from source systems
• Develop dashboards and reporting that provide stakeholders with real-time visibility into control health and audit readiness

Audits & Frameworks

• Run and coordinate audits for SOC 2 (Type I and Type II), ISO 27001, and SOX, including scoping, evidence collection, control walkthroughs, and auditor coordination
• Map controls across multiple compliance frameworks to reduce duplication and maintain a unified control library
• Track audit findings and control gaps through remediation and closure with business and technical stakeholders
• Maintain audit-ready documentation including policies, procedures, control narratives, and evidence repositories

Risk Management

• Identify, assess, and document organizational risks while maintaining the enterprise risk register
• Support risk assessments, including likelihood and impact scoring, treatment planning, and remediation tracking
• Partner with Engineering and IT to evaluate the control impact of new systems, vendors, and architectural changes
• Contribute to the third-party risk management program

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Partner with control owners to ensure controls are operating effectively and generating appropriate evidence
• Translate compliance requirements into practical, engineering-focused guidance
• Support customer security questionnaires, trust requests, and due diligence activities

• 3-5 years of experience in GRC, IT audit, security compliance, or a related field
• Hands-on experience supporting or leading audits for SOC 2, ISO 27001, SOX, or a comparable framework
• Working knowledge of SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, ISO 27001 Annex A, COSO/SOX ITGCs, NIST, or similar control frameworks
• Experience with scripting and automation using Python or a similar language, including working with REST APIs to automate evidence collection
• Familiarity with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and its security and logging services
• Strong understanding of access management, change management, logging and monitoring, vulnerability management, and SDLC controls
• Excellent written communication skills with the ability to create clear control documentation, risk assessments, and stakeholder reporting
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while driving audit findings and remediation efforts to completion

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and CI/CD pipeline security
• Exposure to SOX ITGC testing within a public company or pre-IPO environment
• Experience using SQL or data analysis for evidence collection and control sampling
• Certifications such as CISA, CISSP, CCSK, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor, or cloud security certifications
• Experience working directly with external auditors and managing audit timelines
