The Challenge
OneTrust is seeking a Staff Technical Specialist Engineer to join our R&D Customer Engineering organization and help drive innovation across our AI Governance portfolio. This role combines the technical depth of a software engineer with the customer focus of a solution architect, helping strategic customers solve complex governance challenges through hands-on solution development, integrations, demonstrations, and proof-of-value engagements.
You will leverage OneTrust products, APIs, workflows, integrations, and extensibility frameworks to rapidly design, build, validate, and operationalize customer solutions while influencing future product investments through real-world implementation experience. This role aligns with the Design Partner Program's model of sitting between solution architecture, customer engineering, and product development.
You will sit at the intersection of AI Governance, Privacy, Risk, Security, and Compliance, helping customers adopt responsible AI while influencing future platform investments through real-world implementation experience.
Success in this role means accelerating customer adoption, reducing time-to-value, uncovering product opportunities, validating emerging concepts, and transforming customer-specific solutions into repeatable implementation patterns that benefit the broader OneTrust ecosystem.
Your Mission
- Build customer-facing solutions by developing demonstrations, proof-of-value implementations, integrations, automations, and accelerators across AI Governance and adjacent OneTrust domains.
- Solve complex technical challenges through hands-on troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and implementation support for strategic customer engagements.
- Extend platform capabilities using APIs, SDKs, workflow automation, AI technologies, and cloud services without modifying OneTrust's core product codebase.
- Accelerate AI Governance adoption across AI inventories, risk assessments, governance workflows, compliance operations, model oversight, and responsible AI programs.
- Create reusable assets including reference architectures, implementation playbooks, solution blueprints, and best-practice guidance that can scale across customers.
- Influence product strategy by identifying adoption barriers, implementation gaps, emerging customer needs, and opportunities for future platform investment.
- Leverage Modern AI Technologies and utilize AI-assisted development tools, AI agents, cloud-native services, and emerging engineering approaches to rapidly prototype and validate new solution concepts. Evaluate new AI technologies and integration opportunities relevant to OneTrust's AI Governance ecosystem.
