** PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
**** Data Security, Access & Infrastructure Security
*** Automated Access Controls:
Design, implement, and maintain granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and identity management across our cloud infrastructure and internal tools
* Data Protection Pipelines:
Build automated data masking, anonymization, and encryption mechanisms into data ingestion and processing pipelines
* Infrastructure Security:
Secure distributed storage solutions and ensure secure configurations across compute instances and databases
* Cloud IAM hardening, secret management (e.g., Hashi Corp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager), and zero-trust data access patterns
* Secure vector database architecture (e.g., Milvus, Pinecone, pgvector) with tenant isolation and metadata-level filtering
** AI/MLSecOps & Guardrail Implementation
*** Generative AI Security:
Engineer and deploy technical safeguards for large language models (e.g., Llama or similar architecture), including input/output filtering to prevent prompt injection and data leakage
* CI/CD Integration:
Integrate automated security scanning, fairness/bias testing, and model performance evaluations directly into standard CI/CD deployment manuals
* Model Monitoring:
Build telemetry and alerting systems to track model drift, anomalous API usage, and compliance adherence in real-time
** Data Governance Infrastructure
*** Metadata & Lineage:
Develop automated processes to extract and catalog metadata, ensuring end-to-end data lineage is tracked programmatically
