At Rapid7, our mission is to create a secure digital world. While we are recognized globally for our industry-leading security solutions, our internal Information Security and Trust, Risk, & Compliance (TRC) teams are the architects of that mission from within. We do not simply advocate for best-in-class security; we build the frameworks that define it.

The landscape of Governance, Risk, and Compliance is undergoing a fundamental shift. At Rapid7, we are moving beyond traditional "check-the-box" compliance toward a modern, engineering-led function that serves as a strategic driver for the enterprise.

A New Mandate: From Process to Systems Engineering

The traditional view of TRC often involves maintaining static processes and manual oversight. At Rapid7, we are redefining this paradigm. We believe that for security to scale at the pace of modern innovation, it must be integrated, automated, and engineered—not just managed.

Our TRC function is transitioning into a force multiplier. By leveraging AI, advanced automation, and sophisticated tooling, we are building a global ecosystem that prioritizes:

• Continuous assurance: Transitioning from point-in-time audits to real-time, data-driven visibility.
• Operational excellence: Reducing complexity to increase organizational clarity and confidence.
• Business enablement: Designing security frameworks that accelerate growth rather than hindering it.

The TRC-as-Code Philosophy

This evolution represents the core of our "TRC-as-Code" philosophy. We are seeking technical leaders across our Infosec pillars who view compliance and risk as engineering challenges. We are not looking for practitioners to merely "run the process"—we are looking for architects to develop scalable TRC products to support rapid iteration.

Core Focus Areas Across our Teams:

• Scalable architecture: Designing and implementing global frameworks that scale alongside Rapid7’s rapid growth.
• Technical leadership: Acting as subject matter experts to resolve ambiguity and translate complex regulatory requirements into technical solutions.
• Automation-first mindset: Utilizing smart tooling and AI to eliminate manual toil and build a robust, self-sustaining security ecosystem.
