Senior GRC Engineer

GRC engineer is a combination of two prime areas. One is regulatory and compliance depth frameworks, control design and testing, audit judgement, deviations, the Indian financial-sector stack. The other is AI-native practice assessing AI and LLM systems for compliance risk, evaluating AI tools and vendors before they are onboarded, using AI for the mechanical half of the work with validation as a reflex, and directing AI tooling to build the monitoring and evidence automation the function needs.

Razorpay operates under one of the densest regulatory stacks in Indian technology the DPDP Act 2023, RBI Payment Aggregator and Payment Gateway directions, the PPI Master Directions, RBI Digital Payment Security Controls and Cyber Security Framework expectations, PCI DSS v4.x, ISO 27001 and 27701, and SOC 2 simultaneously, not sequentially. Doing this by hand does not scale to our velocity. AI handles the highvolume, repetitive work: evidence collection and summarisation, control crosswalking, drafting test procedures, parsing audit logs, first-pass alert triage, questionnaire response. It is treated like a fast junior analyst whose output is always reviewed.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end control lifecycle: design, implementation, testing, evidence, and audit readiness
• Drive risk assessments, audit findings (deviations), and remediation closure with clear ownership
• Review cloud security (AWS/GCP), IAM, application security, and data protection controls in production systems
• Evaluate and govern AI/LLM systems, tools, and vendors for data security, privacy, and compliance risks
• Build automation-first GRC systems: continuous monitoring, evidence pipelines, and control validation frameworks
• Support and lead regulatory audits (RBI, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS) with production-backed evidence
• Partner with engineering to embed controls into architecture and SDLC (policy-as-code mindset)
• Own third-party/vendor risk assessments with a strong technical lens

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of experience in GRC, IT audit, security, or compliance engineering
• Strong hands-on expertise in security and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, ITGC, DPDP)
• Solid understanding of cloud security, IAM, secure SDLC, and data protection controls
• Proven experience in risk management, audit handling, and control testing
• Exposure to AI/LLM risk, data governance, and vendor security assessments
• Ability to translate deep technical findings into business risk and actionable insights

Preferred

• Experience in fintech or regulated environments (RBI, payments, banking)
• Hands-on with GRC tools (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe) or compliance automation systems
• Familiarity with automation, scripting, APIs, or policy-as-code approaches
• Experience building monitoring, evidence collection, or compliance pipelines

Why This Role

• Work on AI + Compliance + Engineering convergence
• Build scalable, automation-first GRC systems instead of manual audit workflows
• High ownership role influencing security posture and regulatory strategy
• Opportunity to set the technical bar for GRC engineering
