Job description

Configuration & Implementation: Execute hands-on configuration changes and network modifications based on defined requirements (e.g., Firewall rules, VPC hardening, IAM policies).

  • Sovereign Data Controller: Build and manage the Sovereign Data Controller framework; specifically, engineering the capability to programmatically turn connections on/off based on data residency or compliance triggers.

  • Technical Operations: Act as the primary technical executor once requirements and processes are defined, ensuring no "gap" between policy and production.

  • Network Automation: Utilize Ansible, Terraform, or Python to automate network hardening and firewall rule lifecycle management.

-Audit & Stakeholder Interface

  • Legal & Regulatory Liaison: Act as the technical point of contact for the Legal department and External Auditors. Defend technical implementations and explain control logic in non-technical terms.

  • Risk Reporting: Translate technical network risks into Business Impact Analyses for executive leadership and legal counsel.

  • Data Portability: Develop and maintain automated download capabilities for audit evidence and regulatory logs to streamline external review.

-Network & Platform Security Governance

  • Technical Oversight: Leverage deep knowledge of TCP/IP, Zero Trust Architecture, and Cloud Networking to validate that configurations (Firewalls, VPCs, IAM) actually meet the intended compliance goals.

  • Gap Analysis: Lead continuous "pre-audit" assessments of the network stack to identify and remediate non-conformities before they reach an official auditor.

  • Process Automation: Work with engineering to automate the collection of compliance evidence (Evidence-as-Code) to reduce manual audit toil.

-Reporting & Audit Automation

  • Automated Reporting: Build and maintain regulatory reporting views and dashboards that provide real-time, "downloadable" compliance status for auditors.

  • Reporting Engineering: Design and build regulatory reporting views within internal dashboards to provide real-time visibility into compliance status.

  • Data Portability: Develop and maintain automated download capabilities for audit evidence and regulatory logs to streamline external review.

  • Gap Remediation: Identify network vulnerabilities and manually implement the required technical fixes to maintain an "Always Audit-Ready" state.
