The role, at a glance.
ElevenLabs is hiring a Compliance Engineer to strengthen compliance operations for regulated US markets, particularly government, defense, and finance. The role supports and maintains GovRAMP, FedRAMP, CJIS, and CMMC-related readiness while conducting risk assessments against CIS and NIST frameworks. It combines hands-on cloud compliance automation, evidence and documentation management, audit preparation, and customer security questionnaire support. The engineer will work cross-functionally with sales, engineering, and legal in a fast-paced remote-first environment. Strong experience with public-cloud controls, Vanta or similar tooling, and CI/CD-based compliance automation is central to success.

Sample interview questions
I begin by mapping the applicable framework controls to existing technical and operational practices, identifying ownership and evidence sources. I then run a gap assessment, prioritize remediation by risk and assessment impact, and maintain a structured evidence repository so audit artifacts remain current. Throughout the process, I establish a regular cadence with engineering, security, legal, and operational stakeholders to resolve gaps efficiently.
I would define policy-as-code controls for core requirements such as identity, encryption, logging, network segmentation, and configuration baselines. I would integrate cloud-native signals and compliance tooling into CI/CD pipelines and continuous monitoring workflows, with actionable alerts routed to control owners. The goal is to continuously collect evidence and prevent noncompliant infrastructure changes before production deployment.
I first classify questions by domain, such as architecture, privacy, access control, incident response, and legal terms, and assign clear owners. I use approved source material and evidence rather than making assumptions, while tracking responses and open items in a centralized workflow. For recurring questions, I maintain a vetted response library that improves consistency and reduces turnaround time.
I define the system scope, data flows, assets, and applicable regulatory obligations before evaluating threats, vulnerabilities, and existing controls. I assess likelihood and impact, document gaps with clear risk statements, and recommend proportionate remediation actions with accountable owners and deadlines. I then review residual risk and ensure that decisions and exceptions are documented for auditability.
I would focus on embedding requirements into existing engineering workflows rather than creating manual approval bottlenecks. Reusable secure patterns, automated checks, concise guidance, and risk-based prioritization allow teams to move quickly while maintaining control coverage. I would also communicate the business purpose of requirements so teams understand how compliance enables enterprise and public-sector growth.
