Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Compliance Engineer role sits at a point where modern SaaS intersects with rapidly evolving EU regulation, particularly for AI-led products. For a company serving both individual users and enterprise buyers, the ability to translate frameworks like GDPR and the EU AI Act into practical engineering guardrails becomes a product capability, not just a governance function. The remit also reflects how security and compliance have become prerequisites for selling software into regulated European markets.
Career-wise, the role builds a portfolio that travels well across SaaS: converting policy into system design inputs, producing audit-ready technical narratives, and operationalising controls through automation. Exposure to ISO-aligned programs and compliance-as-code approaches is especially relevant as SaaS teams push for repeatable, evidence-based assurance rather than manual checklists. The stated collaboration with product, engineering, legal, and sales also mirrors how trust work is executed in subscription businesses.
This position fits professionals who enjoy ambiguity and prefer building durable processes over one-off documentation. It suits someone comfortable moving between technical detail and stakeholder communication, and who wants their work to influence both how software is built and how it is evaluated by enterprise customers in Europe.

Job Description
About ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology.
We launched in January 2023 with the first human-like AI voice model. Today, we serve millions of users and thousands of businesses - from fast-growing startups to large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Meta. Our investors are some of the world's most prominent, including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth and Sequoia. We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $11B - multiples of 11, always.
We have expanded from voice into three main platforms:
ElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale.
ElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages.
ElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models.
Everything we do is the result of the creativity and commitment of our team - builders doing the best work of their lives. We are researchers, engineers, and operators. IOI medalists and ex-founders. If you want to work hard and create lasting positive impact, we want to hear from you.
How we work
High-velocity: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy.
Impact not job titles: We don’t have job titles. Instead, it’s about the impact you have. No task is above or beneath you.
AI first: We use AI to move faster with higher-quality results. We do this across the whole company—from engineering to growth to operations.
Excellence everywhere: Everything we do should match the quality of our AI models.
Global team: We prioritize your talent, not your location.
What we offer
Innovative culture: You’ll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
Growth paths: Joining ElevenLabs means joining a dynamic team with countless opportunities to drive impact - beyond your immediate role and responsibilities.
Learning & development: ElevenLabs proactively supports professional development through an annual discretionary stipend.
Social travel: We also provide an annual discretionary stipend to meet up with colleagues each year, however you choose.
Annual company offsite: Each year, we bring the entire team together in a new location - past offsites have included Croatia and Italy.
Co-working: If you’re not located near one of our main hubs, we offer a monthly co-working stipend.
About the role
ElevenLabs is at the frontier of AI — and with that comes a real obligation to meet the compliance demands of the world's most regulated industries. As a Compliance Engineer focused on the EU, you'll help us navigate one of the most complex and fast-moving regulatory environments in the world: GDPR, the EU AI Act, DORA, NIS2, HDS, and beyond.
This isn't a checkbox role. You'll work closely with engineering, product, and legal teams to embed compliance into how we build — writing the technical documentation that earns enterprise trust, building tooling that makes staying compliant frictionless, and directly shaping our go-to-market story for regulated sectors like finance and telecommunications.
You'll be the person who turns regulatory complexity into a competitive advantage for ElevenLabs in Europe.
Requirements
- Proven experience working with EU regulatory frameworks — GDPR, EU AI Act, DORA, NIS2, and/or HDS
- Hands-on with ISO 27001, ISO 42001, or the broader ISO 27000 series — gap analysis, risk assessments, audit support
- Able to produce clear, precise technical compliance documentation that stands up to enterprise scrutiny
- Comfortable supporting enterprise sales — responding to security questionnaires, customer compliance queries, and regulated-sector procurement
- Experience building or maintaining compliance-as-code tooling to automate monitoring and reduce manual overhead
- Based in EU/EMEA and able to operate within European business timezones
Bonus
- Direct experience in regulated industries such as financial services or telecommunications
- Familiarity with CIS benchmarks and risk documentation at scale
- Scripting or engineering background that lets you go beyond documentation into automation
Location
This role is remote-first, so it can be executed from anywhere in Europe, with the ability to operate in European timezones required. If you prefer, you can work from our offices in Dublin, London, and Warsaw.
