Responsibilities

Deepgram is looking for a GRC and Security Compliance Lead to own the written and evidentiary backbone of our security and privacy program — the documents and evidence that auditors, enterprise customers, and our own engineers rely on to know what we actually do.
We hold SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS obligations, we answer a steady stream of enterprise security questionnaires, and we publish public commitments about how we handle data and how our models are built. Today that work is spread across too few people. You will own it: the evidence, the policies, the public posture documents, and the system that keeps all three consistent with each other.
Context matters here, because the claims you will be writing are unusually specific. Most of our infrastructure is bare metal in colocation datacenters — containerized on Docker, managed with Ansible, and deployed through GitHub Actions — with AWS used for overflow capacity and a small set of services. That means our control environment spans physical and colocation controls, on-premise hosts, and cloud, not a single cloud provider's shared-responsibility model. Deepgram also processes audio — often some of the most sensitive data our customers hold — across several deployment models: hosted with model-improvement opted in, hosted with model-improvement opted out (effectively zero data retention), single-tenant Deepgram Dedicated deployments with regional data residency, and fully self-hosted deployments running in the customer's own environment. Getting a public statement right means understanding which of those a given claim applies to.
Writing is the core skill in this role, and we mean writing that survives a skeptical reader — an auditor, a Fortune 500 security reviewer, an engineer who knows the system better than you do. Where a claim needs technical verification, you define what has to be proven and partner with Security Engineering to prove it; you are not expected to do that engineering work yourself.
This role reports to the Director of Information Security and works closely with Security Engineering, Legal, Research, and Solutions/Sales Engineering.
We are open on level. Strong analyst-level and senior candidates are both in scope, and we will calibrate title, scope, and compensation to demonstrated experience.
Own audit evidence end to end for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS — what evidence is required, who produces it, where it lives, and whether it would actually satisfy a reviewer. Be the auditor's primary point of contact through fieldwork.
Own control mapping across frameworks. Build and maintain the crosswalk so one control and one piece of evidence satisfies SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and customer questionnaires — rather than running the same work three times.
Own the colocation and infrastructure vendor side of compliance: datacenter provider SOC reports and attestations, physical security and carve-out language, and how shared responsibility actually divides between us and each provider.
Own security questionnaires and the security sections of RFPs. Maintain the answer library, keep it current as the product changes, and know which answers to fight for and which to concede.
Author and own the lifecycle of our internal policies and standards: drafting, review and approval cycles, annual review, exceptions and carve-outs, and retiring what no longer reflects reality.
Own our public-facing posture documents — Trust Center content, the AI Safety statement, Model Cards (with Research), the Privacy Policy (with Legal), and the deployment-model and self-hosted documentation customers rely on during review.
