AI Governance Engineer

Overview

You will serve as the technical architect and builder for RealPage's AI governance infrastructure, creating AI agents, automation tools, and technical solutions that enable governance to scale efficiently. Your charter spans developing automated discovery systems, building intelligent governance assistants, creating self-service tools for business units, and implementing technical controls that enforce governance policies. You will partner with the Director and governance team to understand operational pain points and translate them into technical solutions that multiply team effectiveness.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop AI agents that automate governance workflows including registry updates, risk assessments, policy compliance checks, and documentation generation to reduce manual workload.
• Build automated discovery systems that continuously scan RealPage's infrastructure to identify AI systems, monitor for shadow AI usage, and maintain real-time inventory accuracy across cloud environments.
• Create self-service tools and dashboards that enable business units to independently assess AI risk, generate compliance documentation, and navigate governance processes without constant manual intervention.
• Develop intelligent governance assistants using generative AI that can answer stakeholder questions, provide policy guidance, and assist with intake form completion to accelerate governance processes.
• Implement technical monitoring and observability solutions that track AI system behavior, detect anomalies, identify drift , and alert the governance team to potential issues before they escalate.
• Build integrations between the OneTrust governance platform and other enterprise systems including CMDB, ServiceNow, cloud platforms, and development tools to create seamless data flows.
• Develop automated reporting and metrics collection systems that eliminate manual dashboard creation, provide real-time governance visibility, and generate executive-ready analytics.
• Create API-based governance controls that can be embedded into CI/CD pipelines, enabling developers to receive governance feedback during development rather than as a post-deployment gate.
• Collaborate with InfoSec and DevOps teams to implement runtime technical controls including content filtering, rate limiting, PII detection, and kill switches for AI systems as defined by governance requirements.
• Maintain documentation for governance tools and automation, provide technical support to the governance team, and continuously improve solutions based on operational feedback and changing requirements.
