GRC Engineer - Philippines

About Us

At Axlora, we help startups handle compliance so their teams can stay focused on building. Our customers already have a GRC platform in place - we make it actually work for them.

We take as much work off our customers’ plates as possible, giving them leverage on their time and earning the right to be treated as part of their team. We mirror their style and language, adapt to their pace, and always ask: does this make sense for a startup?

The Role

As a GRC Engineer, you’ll be the trusted partner guiding our customers through their compliance journey - part project manager, part technologist, part strategist. You’ll fully own customer timelines, anticipate issues before they become problems, and ensure compliance work gets done with excellence and empathy.

Your north star: make life easier for both our customers and our internal team.

• Fully own customer timelines for compliance and security deliverables
• Proactively manage customer communications, escalating issues before they’re urgent
• Collaborate cross-functionally with our CEO, CTO, and delivery team to continuously improve how we serve startups
