Embedded Engineer, Compliance

About This Role

This engineering role sits within the Office of the CTO, embedded as a founding engineer within the Compliance organization. You will identify high-value workflow opportunities, rapidly prototype solutions using the company's existing AI platform, and drive measurable adoption of AI tooling across the Compliance organization. The role acts as a connective tissue between Compliance stakeholders and the engineering teams who maintain the AI platform, serving as an advocate, translator, and builder.

Responsibilities

• Embed with Compliance leadership and frontline teams to surface automation opportunities with the greatest business leverage, developing a ground-level understanding of workflows like transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, regulatory change management, and exam preparation
• Prototype quickly and pragmatically using the existing AI platform as the default foundation before recommending net-new builds
• Own the Compliance automation roadmap in partnership with the Chief Compliance Officer and Compliance leadership, translating complex regulatory workflows (case resolution, trade surveillance, risk assessment, policy management) into engineering requirements and engineering constraints back to stakeholders clearly
• Define the build-vs-buy strategy for Compliance tooling, evaluating what should be built internally, adopted from partner teams, procured from vendors, or retired
• Ensure every automated compliance output is traceable, reviewable, and defensible to regulators, with auditability, approval gates, evidence retention, and human-in-the-loop controls as first-class design concerns
• Drive adoption through brown-bags, prototype walkthroughs, and feedback loops that bring Compliance teams along on the journey and ensure tools actually get used

Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with a demonstrated ability to ship production systems in ambiguous, stakeholder-heavy environments, with greenfield experience a strong plus
• Hands-on experience deploying LLM-based applications, including prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, hallucination guardrails, and human-in-the-loop design for high-stakes compliance outputs
• Proven ability to embed with non-technical domain experts, rapidly internalize complex workflows, and translate them into engineering requirements
• Familiarity with compliance and regulatory systems concepts: transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, regulatory filing workflows, case management, and audit-ready data handling
• Familiarity with multi-agent orchestration concepts including how agent systems handle handoffs, escalation, and auditability
• Experience in a Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Engineering, or embedded technical advisory capacity, ideally in compliance-tech, RegTech, or financial services environments
