Our telehealth support solutions are thoughtfully designed to streamline and simplify go-to-market care delivery for companies offering meaningful virtual support to patients across an expansive array of specialties, in all 50 states.

Open Loop's mission is to bring care anywhere by powering tele-health solutions  Security Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) team builds the guardrails that let Open Loop move fast while managing risk — enterprise risk management, security compliance, third-party risk, business resilience, and AI governance.

We are hiring a GRC Engineer to sit at the intersection of security governance and technical automation. You will build the systems, integrations, and automated workflows that power Open Loop's GRC program — from continuous evidence collection and control testing in Vanta, to AI governance operations supporting our AI Governance Council, to the business intelligence dashboards that give security leadership and the broader security organization real‑time visibility into posture, risk, and program health.

• Design, build, and maintain automated evidence collection and continuous control testing workflows in Vanta and supporting tools.

• Develop and operate GRC automation pipelines using Claude Code and similar AI‑assisted development tools — writing scripts, building integrations, and eliminating manual compliance processes at speed.

• Build and maintain business intelligence dashboards and metrics reporting for the Security GRC team and broader security organization — including security posture, issue tracking, exception management, risk trends, and program delivery metrics.

• Develop integrations between GRC platforms, cloud environments (AWS, GCP), identity providers, and business systems to automate compliance data flows.

• Operationalize the AI Governance Council's review process — build intake workflows, risk assessment tooling, and tracking for AI use case governance.

• Develop and maintain AI risk assessment frameworks and guardrails aligned to NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and emerging regulatory requirements.

• Support SOC 2 Type II, HITRUST, HIPAA SRA/PRA, and other audit and assurance activities, through automated evidence preparation and control documentation.

• Write scripts and build tooling (Python, APIs, workflow platforms, AI‑assisted coding tools) to reduce cycle time and focus on scaling

• Maintain and improve the control framework — map controls to obligations, identify gaps, and automate testing where possible.

• Partner with Sec Ops, IT, Privacy, and Engineering teams to integrate GRC requirements into their tool chains and workflows.

• Support enterprise risk management activities including risk register maintenance, KRI automation, and risk reporting.

• Define and track key metrics across the security organization — translating raw data into executive‑ready insights that drive decisions and demonstrate program maturity.

• Other duties as assigned.
