Compliance Engineering, Dev Ops, Vice President, Dallas

What We Do

We are Compliance Engineering, a global team of more than 300 engineers and scientists who work on the most complex, mission‑critical problems. We build and operate a suite of platforms and applications that prevent, detect, and mitigate regulatory and reputational risk across the firm, have access to the latest technology and to massive amounts of structured and unstructured data, leverage modern frameworks to build responsive and intuitive front‑end and Big Data applications.

The firm is making a significant investment to uplift and rebuild the Compliance application portfolio.

SRE at Goldman Sachs combines software and systems engineering to build, run, and maintain high‑performant, distributed, fault‑tolerant systems. As an SRE Engineer you will fill a mission‑critical role ensuring that our systems are healthy, monitored, automated, and designed to scale. You will collaborate with engineering teams to continually improve our production services, facilitate fast delivery of new services, and reduce downtime.

SRE utilizes automation, tools, and solid engineering principles to optimize existing systems, build infrastructure, and eliminate operational work. We are looking for passionate, curious, driven engineers who thrive on solving operational problems, improving efficiency, and would like to apply their skills to Compliance Engineering SRE.
