Senior Software Engineer, AI Governance

ABOUT THE ROLE

Natera is deploying AI into clinical, diagnostic, and patient-facing workflows at scale. As that portfolio grows, AI governance infrastructure has to be real: working controls embedded in the platform, automated risk intake, runtime policy enforcement, and production monitoring that catches drift before it becomes an incident. This role builds that infrastructure.

This role is a software engineering role. You will design, build, and operate the technical systems that make AI governance work at Natera: guardrails in the LLM Gateway, PHI/PII detection in the RAG infrastructure, automated risk scoring in the intake pipeline, observability dashboards, and incident response tooling. You translate frameworks like NIST AI RMF, CHAI, and ISO 42001 into platform controls, not policy documents. Roughly 75% of your time is engineering work. The remaining 25% is the process and cross-functional work that gives the engineering its direction.

You report to the Head of AI & Data Governance. You work hands-on with platform engineers, Legal, Privacy, RAQA, and business teams. The job is to make AI governance a platform capability, not a committee function.&l
