Lantern is seeking a Senior GRC Engineer to join our GRC team as a key individual contributor. This role is built specifically for someone who builds compliance infrastructure, not just manages it. You will report to the Sr. GRC Manager and work at the intersection of security engineering, AI governance, and healthcare compliance across our benefits platform.

This is not a checkbox compliance role. We are deploying AI across our platform to improve how members access specialty care, and we need a GRC engineer who writes code to solve compliance problems, builds automation that eliminates manual evidence collection, and can govern the AI systems we are actively deploying. If you think in systems, reach for Python before a spreadsheet, and want to shape what a modern GRC function looks like, this role was built for you.

Location: Hybrid - at least 4 days/wk in our Dallas, TX offices

Responsibilities:

Compliance Automation & Evidence Engineering

• Write scripts (Python, SQL, APIs) to pull evidence directly from source systems (AWS, Azure, IAM platforms, endpoint agents, CI/CD pipelines), eliminating manual evidence collection
• Build and maintain continuous control monitoring workflows integrated into engineering pipelines, not just GRC platforms
• Design compliance-as-code and policy-as-code approaches; own the technical architecture of how controls are tested automatically

AI Governance

• Build and maintain Lantern's AI risk register and AI systems inventory, including pre-deployment risk assessments for new AI use cases across our benefits platform in partnership with Engineering and Product

• Monitor HHS AI policy, EU AI Act, and state-level regulation; translate emerging requirements into actionable, automatable controls
• Govern AI systems used within the GRC function itself, including any LLM-powered evidence analysis or control monitoring tools

Healthcare Compliance

• Own the HIPAA Privacy and Security compliance program: risk assessments, remediation tracking, workforce training coordination, and ongoing monitoring
• Support HITRUST CSF certification and SOC 2 Type II audit cycles as a technical contributor, building automated evidence pipelines rather than collecting evidence manually
• Map the…
