Director, DevOps Regulatory Engineering

RBC's DevOps team builds the controls that let thousands of engineers ship software into a regulated bank. As Director, DevOps Regulatory Engineering, you'll lead the engineering team that translates regulatory and security expectations into controls in the delivery pipeline, generates the audit evidence that proves those controls work, and manages risk across our software supply chain. You'll be the DevOps counterpart to Application Security and the point of contact for Technology Risk, Group Risk, Internal Audit and regulatory teams when they need to know how software gets built at RBC. This is an engineering leadership role, not a policy role: your team writes the code, and you use AI coding agents daily yourself.

Translate regulatory, risk and security requirements into automated controls in CI/CD and developer tooling

Design the automated generation of audit evidence so controls prove themselves without manual collection

Define requirements and evidence standards where other platform teams own the implementation, and verify what they build

Partner with Application Security on tooling, scanning coverage and remediation workflows

Work with vendors when required to close gaps in supply chain tooling and services

Lead responses to Internal Audit, Technology Risk and regulatory requests concerning the software development lifecycle

Handle control exceptions and remediation plans, and track findings through to closure

Maintain the mapping between regulatory expectations and the controls in place, and know where the gaps are

Use AI coding agents in building controls, evidence tooling and remediation automation, and set the standard for how the team uses them

Assess the risk and control implications of AI-assisted development for the bank's SDLC

Familiarity with OSFI B-13, NIST SSDF, SLSA, SOC 2 or similar frameworks

Shipped an LLM-based capability into production

Experience managing vendor relationships for security or supply chain tooling

Experience working in a large regulated organization, such as a bank
