DESCRIPTION OF ROLE:
The Security/Platform Engineer will serve as a fractional security and platform hardening resource for the client's Azure, Databricks, Fivetran, and Unity Catalog environments. This role focuses on defining, implementing, and validating security patterns to support enterprise-scale data platform adoption, including access management, identity integration, secrets management, auditability, network security, and operational controls.
This role is not responsible for general data engineering delivery. It is responsible for ensuring the platform is secure, governed, supportable, and aligned with enterprise security expectations.
The Security / Platform Engineer will establish secure access and platform-control patterns across Azure, Databricks, Unity Catalog, Fivetran, and related services. This includes designing role-based access controls, group-based permissioning, least-privilege models, Unity Catalog permissions across data objects and storage credentials, and integration patterns for SailPoint, CyberArk, Entra ID, service principals, managed identities, secrets, and credential rotation.
The role will partner with client security, identity, infrastructure, governance, architecture, and engineering teams to embed security controls into the platform delivery model without creating unnecessary friction for source onboarding. Responsibilities include identifying security gaps, hardening opportunities, secure networking patterns, audit and monitoring procedures, access review processes, support procedures, and documentation needed for platform controls and audit evidence.
The Security / Platform Engineer will also advise on platform readiness for international expansion, future source onboarding, and broader enterprise adoption.
