The role

Orbio is an AI-native human capital management platform building a Digital Workforce for HR.
We design and deploy agentic systems that take ownership of operational execution across hiring, onboarding, and employee operations - while keeping humans in control.
We work with large, complex organizations across staffing, retail, hospitality, and healthcare. Our customers rely on Orbio to reduce operational friction, improve speed and quality, and scale their teams without proportional headcount growth.
Orbio is not a system of record. We sit on top of existing HR systems and own the execution and coordination layer - where day-to-day work actually happens.

Position Overview
Orbio is looking for an AI Governance & Compliance Engineer to help keep our AI systems compliant across EMEA, US, LATAM, and APAC.
In this role, you will sit between Legal, Engineering, and Security - tracking regulatory requirements across regions and translating them into concrete technical work, so our agentic systems stay compliant, auditable, and trustworthy as we scale.
You will build the compliance infrastructure - dashboards, documentation, risk assessments - that lets Orbio operate confidently in front of regulators and enterprise clients alike.

  • AI systems remain compliant and audit-ready across all served regions
  • Engineering ships compliance features (logging, oversight, risk classification) without slowing product velocity
  • Compliance dashboards give Legal, Security, and leadership a clear, trustworthy view of AI risk
  • Regulatory changes are flagged early enough to act on, not react to
  • Enterprise clients gain confidence in Orbio's responsible AI posture through clear, well-prepared documentation

What you'll do

  • Designing and maintaining AI compliance dashboards and metrics tracking, including human-in-the-loop metrics
  • Defining data sources, logic, and known limitations for compliance reporting
  • Running AI risk/impact assessments aligned with ISO/IEC 42001 and EU AI Act classifications
  • Maintaining AI system documentation and consulting Legal on risk-tier decisions
  • Owning technical compliance with GDPR and equivalent regimes (CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, PIPL)
  • Supporting data mapping, DPIA support, and privacy-by-design reviews
  • Translating between Engineering/Product, external Legal counsel, and Security
  • Acting as technical point of contact for enterprise clients on responsible AI - questionnaires, due diligence workshops, compliance reports
