Job description

Amex GBT is a place where colleagues find inspiration in travel as a force for good and – through their work – can make an impact on our industry. We’re here to help our colleagues achieve success and offer an inclusive and collaborative culture where your voice is valued. Amex GBT’s Security GRC team is looking for a talented Senior Security GRC Engineer to design, build, and scale automation and AI-driven solutions that modernize our governance, risk, and compliance program. This role sits at the intersection of security engineering and GRC, translating manual, evidence-heavy processes into automated, data-driven workflows. The ideal candidate combines hands‑on engineering skills with a strong understanding of GRC principles, and is excited to apply AI and automation to reduce risk, improve control coverage, and free up the team to focus on higher‑value analysis.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and maintain automation pipelines that continuously collect, normalize, and validate compliance and control evidence across security and business systems.
• Evaluate, prototype, and deploy AI and large language model (LLM)-based solutions to accelerate GRC workflows, including control testing, evidence review, policy mapping, and risk narrative generation.
• Integrate GRC tooling (e.g., Onspring, Archer, MetricStream, or similar platforms) with security and IT systems via APIs to enable automated data flows, dashboards, and reporting.
• Develop and maintain scripts, bots, and workflow tools that automate recurring GRC tasks such as evidence gathering, control monitoring, and audit preparation.
• Partner with Security GRC analysts and program managers to identify manual, repetitive processes and re-engineer them into scalable, automated solutions.
• Establish guardrails, testing, and quality controls to ensure AI-assisted outputs are accurate, explainable, and compliant with regulatory and audit requirements.
• Monitor and report on the performance, reliability, and risk posture of automation and AI tools used within the GRC program.
• Stay current with emerging AI, automation, and GRC technologies, and recommend adoption of new tools and techniques to continuously improve program maturity.
• Collaborate with other AmexGBT teams (security, engineering, data, and business) to align automation initiatives with broader security posture and compliance goals.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information security, information systems, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of experience in security engineering, GRC, or a related field, with demonstrated experience building automation or AI-enabled solutions.
• Strong programming/scripting skills (e.g., Python, JavaScript, or similar) and experience working with APIs, databases, and workflow automation tools.
• Hands‑on experience applying AI or machine learning technologies (including LLMs and generative AI) to real‑world business or security use cases.
• Solid understanding of cybersecurity frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2) and regulatory compliance requirements (GDPR, PCI DSS).
• Experience with GRC platforms such as Onspring, Archer, MetricStream, or similar tools, including configuration or integration work.
• Familiarity with risk assessment methodologies, control frameworks, and audit evidence requirements.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to translate complex, manual processes into automated solutions.
• Excellent communication and reporting skills, with the ability to present technical solutions and their risk/compliance impact to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
