How to Apply for Senior GRC Analyst

at Serve Robotics

🏢 About Serve Robotics

Serve Robotics is pioneering zero-emissions, self-driving robots for sustainable food delivery, combining cutting-edge robotics with environmental responsibility. Working here means contributing to a tangible solution for urban logistics while advancing autonomous technology in a mission-driven startup environment.

About This Role

As Senior GRC Analyst at Serve Robotics, you'll be the go-to expert for implementing and maintaining security frameworks (SOX 404 ITGC, ISO 27001, GDPR/CCPA) in a robotics and autonomous systems context. Your work directly ensures the security and compliance of self-driving delivery robots handling sensitive customer data and payment information.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start by reviewing security documentation updates for new robot firmware features, then conduct a risk assessment for a potential sensor supplier, followed by analyzing phishing simulation results from the latest campaign. The day could end with preparing audit workpapers for an upcoming SOX 404 review while advising engineering teams on privacy-by-design for new data collection features.

Practice questions for this role

🎯 Who Serve Robotics Is Looking For

  • Has hands-on experience implementing ISO 27001 controls specifically in technology/robotics environments, not just theoretical knowledge
  • Can demonstrate creating compliance workpapers (artifact lists, test cases) for SOX 404 IT General Controls audits
  • Has managed third-party risk assessments for vendors providing critical services to autonomous systems
  • Has designed and executed security awareness programs with measurable phishing simulation results

📝 Tips for Applying to Serve Robotics

1

Highlight any experience with robotics, IoT, or autonomous systems compliance - even if tangential

2

Quantify your impact on previous compliance audits (e.g., 'reduced audit findings by X%', 'streamlined artifact collection process by Y hours')

3

Mention specific experience with GDPR/CCPA in the context of customer data collection by automated systems

4

Demonstrate understanding of how traditional GRC frameworks apply to physical robotics (e.g., securing robot firmware updates, data transmission from mobile robots)

5

Show familiarity with startup environments by discussing how you've scaled GRC programs in growing companies

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your experience adapting compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2) to emerging technologies like robotics or IoT', 'Specific examples of managing third-party risk for critical technology vendors (not just generic vendor assessments)', "How you've designed security awareness programs that actually changed employee behavior in technical organizations", 'Your approach to balancing compliance requirements with startup agility and innovation speed']

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 How would you apply ISO 27001 controls to a fleet of autonomous delivery robots collecting customer data?
2 Describe your process for assessing third-party risk for a critical robotics component supplier
3 How have you prepared for and supported SOX 404 ITGC audits in previous roles?
4 What metrics would you track to measure the effectiveness of Serve's security awareness program?
5 How would you handle compliance requirements conflicting with rapid product development timelines in a startup?
