About the role:

You’ll secure our Azure & Kubernetes Data & AI platform end-to-end—baking security into CI/CD, infrastructure, data, and ML workloads. You’ll use Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, Terraform for policy-as-code guardrails, and Azure services like Key Vault, Entra ID (AAD), and Data Lake with least-privilege access. You’ll also work with Azure Policy, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, and Kubernetes security features (RBAC, NetworkPolicies, Pod Security Standards, admission controllers). Experience with ACR image scanning (e.g., Defender, Trivy), OPA/Gatekeeper or Kyverno, CodeQL/Dependabot, Checkov/tfsec, and Databricks security (Unity Catalog, SCIM/AAD) is a plus.

Job Description

About your tasks:

• Build and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions): secrets hygiene, signed artifacts/SBOMs, SAST/DAST/container scanning, least-privilege service connections, and supply-chain hardening.
• Automate security in infrastructure with Terraform: enforce guardrails using policy-as-code (Azure Policy, OPA/Conftest) and continuous IaC scanning (Checkov/tfsec).
• Harden Kubernetes: implement RBAC, NetworkPolicies, Pod Security Standards, secret management, image signing/scanning, and admission policies (Gatekeeper/Kyverno).
• Protect cloud identities & data: manage Entra ID roles/Managed Identities, Key Vault, Private Link/NSGs, encryption at rest/in transit, and just-in-time/least-privilege access.
• Secure ML/MLOps: lock down Databricks (Unity Catalog permissions, secret scopes), MLflow/model registry, feature stores; add model artifact signing, provenance, and runtime isolation for training/serving.
• Monitoring, logging & response: wire platform and security telemetry to Microsoft Sentinel/Defender, define alerts/runbooks, and support incident response and tabletop exercises.
• CVE & vulnerability management: maintain and publish SBOMs; continuously scan for vulnerabilities; triage CVEs (e.g., CVSS scoring + exploitability context), coordinate mitigations/patches, track exposure windows and SLAs, verify remediation, and report metrics to SecOps/GRC.
• Concepts & architecture: draft and maintain reference architectures, trust-boundary diagrams, data-classification schemes, environment isolation patterns, secure secret/key management patterns, and network segmentation for AI services.
• Compliance & assurance: contribute to risk assessments and threat modeling (incl. AI-specific risks: prompt injection, data exfiltration, model theft), support DPIAs, vendor/third-party risk reviews, penetration tests, control testing, evidence collection, and audit readiness for ISO 27001, GDPR, and EU AI Act/NIS2 where applicable.
• Governance: maintain security baselines and exceptions, own platform security KPIs, ensure retention policies, access reviews, and end-to-end audit trails (code → data → model → deployment).

Qualifications

About you:

• Experience as a DevSecOps / Cloud Security Engineer (or DevOps with strong security focus) in Azure and Kubernetes environments.
• Hands-on with Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions; comfortable automating guardrails and checks in pipelines.
• Working knowledge of Azure security (Entra ID, Key Vault, Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud, Sentinel) and Kubernetes security.
• Familiar with vulnerability management & CVEs (SBOM creation, dependency/container/IaC scanning, triage/prioritization, remediation workflows, SLA tracking).
• Understanding of Data & AI/ML security: Databricks (Unity Catalog, SCIM/AAD), MLflow/model registry, secrets, data governance, and privacy-by-design.
• Comfortable interfacing with central Security and compliance teams, contributing to audits and group standards, and translating requirements into practical controls.
• A shift-left mindset: you collaborate across teams, codify controls, and enjoy solving real-world security challenges in cloud-based Data & AI platform.
