The Goldman Sachs Compliance Division prevents, detects and mitigates regulatory and reputational risk across the firm, and helps to strengthen the firm's culture of compliance. As an independent control function and part of the firm's second line of defense, Compliance:
- Assesses the firm's compliance, regulatory and reputational risk
- Monitors for compliance with new or amended laws, rules and regulations
- Designs and implements controls, policies, procedures and training
- Conducts independent testing
- Investigates, surveils and monitors for compliance risks and breaches
- Leads the firm's response to regulatory examinations, audits and inquiries
Compliance Engineering empowers these activities by building and operating a suite of software platforms and applications. We are a team of more than 300 engineers who work on the most complex, mission-critical problems. We have access to the latest technology and to massive amounts of structured and unstructured data. We leverage modern frameworks to build responsive and intuitive UX/UI and Big Data applications, incorporating cutting-edge AI and efficient processes to drive them.
Compliance Engineering does not build tools in a silo. Our user base spans thousands of users globally. We partner with Compliance Officers across divisions, to fully understand the financial products, business strategies, and regulatory regimes. This knowledge enables us to build long-lasting software solutions, and to innovate with a purpose.
Your Role
The Compliance Engineering Product Management team is responsible for guiding products through all stages of their lifecycle, including research, design, scoping, delivery, promotion and post-launch monitoring, tailoring solutions to meet the evolving needs of our users.
