Apex Fintech Solutions is looking for a GRC Engineer to help build, scale, and operate our governance, risk, and compliance program. This is a hands-on, technically minded role that blends traditional GRC responsibilities, including audits, risk management, policy, and due diligence, with engineering-oriented skills like API integrations, data querying, and control automation.

You’ll be a key player in maintaining our compliance posture across frameworks like SOC 2, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001, while also helping modernize how we monitor and evidence controls using platforms like Anecdotes. This role suits someone who is equally comfortable talking to auditors as they are writing a query to pull evidence out of a data pipeline.

• Maintain the organization’s control library, risk register, and policy/procedure repository
• Support enterprise risk assessments, including identification,…
