LaunchDarkly's Governance, Risk, and Compliance team is hiring a Security Analyst III to facilitate the definition, implementation, and operation of security and privacy programs at LaunchDarkly.
LaunchDarkly is critical infrastructure. Our security team keeps it safe for the global systems that depend on us and the GRC team demonstrates that to earn the trust of our customers. As a member of the team, you'll drive initiatives to assess and reduce security risks to the company, advise stakeholders, and maintain compliance with the frameworks that we adhere to including ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and FedRAMP.
You'll report to the Director of Security and partner closely with stakeholders in Legal, Revenue, and other members of our security team. We expect you to bring a sharp point of view on where AI can take work off the team's plate and make our coverage deeper.
Collaborate with stakeholders to design and operate security controls that comprise the LaunchDarkly GRC program
Use technology to automate compliance activities like gathering evidence and verifying controls
Operationalize the health and maturity of the program by tracking metrics based on quantitative and qualitative data
Drive progress towards results for GRC-related continuous improvement projects
Contribute to documentation for security standards, policies, and processes
Support audits and assessments with internal and external stakeholders
Work with product and infrastructure delivery teams on engineering projects related to GRC requirements
Deep cybersecurity, privacy, and risk management knowledge and skill
Excellent communication skills - written and verbal
Experience working on collaborative projects
Depth with modern cloud-based SaaS organizations - specifically AWS control environments
Information security experience at an organization with significant compliance requirements
Strong familiarity with security standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, FedRAMP) as well as privacy laws (CCPA and GDPR)
Familiarity with LaunchDarkly’s collaboration tools like Confluence, Slack, and Github
Considerable knowledge of software development and architecture
CCSP, PCI QSA, CISSP, or CISA / CISM certifications
You're proactive by default. You'd rather spot compliance drift early and fix the cause rather than chase symptoms during an audit.
You believe good governance is a craft of habits and systems. Small consistent improvements beat heroic one-offs.
You invest in relationships with the teams you work with.
You know good governance and compliance relies heavily on trust and communication.
You're a good partner. You're helpful and direct, you say no with reasons and alternatives, and you don't mistake gatekeeping for rigor.
You're engineering-curious by nature. You want to understand how the systems work and how to adapt for compliance frameworks.
You treat AI as part of the toolkit. You're skeptical where you should be, aggressive where it pays off, and you want to work somewhere that's serious about both.

Modern software delivery was supposed to be the foundation for a thriving digital business but reality has proven otherwise. Slow, inefficient development cycles, costly outages, and fragmented customer experiences are preventing developers from building their best software. The LaunchDarkly platform helps developers innovate on new features faster while protecting them with a safety valve to instantly rewind when things go wrong. Developers can target product experiences to any customer segment and maximize the business impact of every feature. And by gradually rolling out new application components, they escape nightmare "big-bang" technology migrations.
