Principal Product Engineer, Solution Owner - Compliance as Code
RegScale is a purpose-built cyber GRC platform designed to enable the CISO to track and monitor security controls. We help organizations break out of the slow and expensive realities that plague legacy GRC tools by bridging security, risk, and compliance through controls lifecycle management. By leveraging RegScale’s Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM) instrumentation, organizations experience massive compliance process improvements like 90% faster certification times, and 60% less audit prep time. Today's expansive security and compliance requirements can only be met with a modern, CCM-based approach, and RegScale is the market leader in that space.

Product, Strategy & Design

- Translate customer needs, regulatory requirements, and business goals into clear technical plans.

- Collaborate with Design to ensure solutions are intuitive, user-friendly, and aligned with RegScale’s platform UX patterns.
- Participate in customer calls to gather feedback, validate direction, and evangelize technical decisions.
What You Bring
- 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in a senior/principal role.
- Expertise in modern cloud-native architectures (Azure/AWS), microservices, APIs, and event-driven systems.
- Strong proficiency in one or more of: C#/.NET, Python, Angular or similar enterprise languages.
- Demonstrated experience owning major product components or platforms end-to-end.
- Ability to lead teams through influence—setting direction without relying on hierarchy.
- Strong communication skills and comfort engaging with Product, Design, and customers.
- Experience in security, compliance, GRC, or regulated industries is a plus.
Why Join RegScale?
- Build category-defining technology in one of the fastest-growing areas of cybersecurity.
- Own solutions that meaningfully impact enterprise and federal compliance automation.
- Work in a fast-paced startup environment where your decisions directly shape the product.
- Competitive compensation, equity, benefits, and flexible remote work culture.
