Technical Compliance Analyst

About Snorkel At Snorkel, we believe meaningful AI doesn’t start with the model, it starts with the data. We’re on a mission to help enterprises transform expert knowledge into specialized AI  AI landscape has gone through incredible changes since 2015, when Snorkel started as a research project in the Stanford AI Lab, to the generative AI breakthroughs of today. But one thing has remained constant: the data you use to build AI is the key to achieving differentiation, high performance, and production‑ready systems.

We work with some of the world’s largest organizations to empower scientists, engineers, financial experts, product creators, journalists, and more to build custom AI with their data faster than ever before. Excited to help us redefine how AI is built?

Job Description We are seeking a hands‑on, builder‑minded Technical Compliance Analyst to serve as the operational engine behind our Trust & Security program. You will maintain our SOC 2 Type II posture, drive our second entity from Type I to Type II, and act as the bridge between compliance requirements and engineering & delivery execution. You will also lay the technical groundwork to evolve us toward CMMC 2.0, ensuring we are ready for federal contracts without slowing down our product velocity.

This is not a "compliance cop" role. We practice "Yes, if..." security—you will influence architecture, automate policy enforcement, and unblock enterprise sales by ensuring the Security team has pristine, verifiable evidence at their fingertips.

Powering Customer Trust & Revenue Enablement The Engine Behind Revenue:
Help drafting accurate, technically precise responses to RFPs, security questionnaires (CAIQ, SIG, custom risk assessments), and customer portals. Repository Stewardship:
Own and continuously update the "Library of Truth"—a pristine repository of pre‑vetted security evidence, technical configurations, and policy documents. By keeping this repository audit‑ready, you enable the Security team to respond to enterprise prospects in hours, not days. Technical Depth on Demand:
When a customer asks about AWS KMS encryption, logging pipelines, or IAM privilege escalation paths, you retrieve the granular evidence and draft the written narrative the Security and Legal Team needs to confidently close the deal. Building Compliance into the DNA Compliance Partner:
Partner with IT, Security, Product, Engineering, and Delivery early in the development lifecycle. Review new features, infrastructure changes, and vendor integrations to influence architectural decisions that bake in compliance by design—without creating friction or slowing sprints. Policy as Guardrails:
Write, update, and operationalize security policies that accelerate delivery. Translate abstract SOC 2 and NIST controls into clear, developer‑friendly tasks (e.g., IAM hardening, log retention, Zero Trust implementation). Compliance‑as‑Code:
Where possible, automate policy enforcement in CI/CD pipelines so that security checks are invisible, automated, and frictionless for engineering teams. Enablement, Not Enforcement:
Conduct lightweight compliance enablement sessions with engineering teams—showing them how to self‑serve evidence collection and interpret compliance requirements—so security becomes everyone's responsibility, not just yours.

Audit Lifecycle Management:
Drive and coordinate the end‑to‑end SOC 2 Type I and Type II audit cycles across our business entities. Manage audit schedules, coordinate with external auditors, and drive remediation of findings to keep us perpetually audit‑ready. GRC Automation:
Be the power‑user of our modern GRC stack (Vanta, Drata). Automate evidence collection, continuously monitor technical controls, and eliminate manual spreadsheet tracking. Operational Cadences:
Manage the compliance ticketing queue in Jira. Execute routine mandates including quarterly User Access Reviews (UAR), security awareness training, phishing simulations, and managing the Risk Acceptance/Exception process.

Metrics & Reporting:
Build and maintain compliance dashboards (KPIs/KRIs) for the Security Lead and executive…
