Cyber AI Data Engineer Senior Consultant

About the role

We are seeking a hands-on Data Engineer to build and operate the governed data foundations powering cyber risk, compliance evidence, and AI-enabled cyber workflows. This role bridges modern data engineering with GRC expectations in regulated enterprise environments.

Responsibilities

• Build scalable batch and stream processing pipelines that ingest security telemetry, control evidence, and compliance artifacts into governed data stores.
• Design data models for risk and controls domains, including key risk indicators, issues and defects, risk acceptance, control testing outcomes, audit evidence, and policy exceptions, and enable self-service analytics and dashboards.
• Implement data quality checks, lineage, metadata, and access controls to support auditability, regulatory defensibility, and repeatable evidence generation.
• Develop AI-enabled capabilities that accelerate governance, risk, and compliance and cyber operations, including evidence summarization, control testing assist, policy question-and-answer, investigation copilots, ticket triage, and exception reasoning using agentic patterns, workflow orchestration, and retrieval-augmented generation.
• Engineer integrations between data platforms, governance, risk, and compliance workflows, and enterprise systems using application programming interfaces, event patterns, and connectors, with observability and runbooks for production support.
• Partner with Cyber, Risk, Compliance, Privacy, and Legal stakeholders to translate requirements into implementable controls and developer-ready guardrails.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 4+ years of experience in data engineering and software development using Python and SQL.
• Experience building production data pipelines and data models for batch processing, stream processing, or both, and deploying solutions using cloud platforms, containers, infrastructure as code, application programming interfaces, and secrets management.
• Experience implementing data governance controls including data classification, personally identifiable information handling, least-privilege access, encryption, secrets management, retention, audit logging, and lineage or metadata management.
• Experience supporting governance, risk, and compliance workflows, including risk reporting, audit data requests, controls monitoring, controls testing, compliance metrics, governance, risk, and compliance tool integrations, and large language model-enabled applications using retrieval-augmented generation, vector or hybrid retrieval, tool or function calling, evaluation or monitoring, prompt-injection defenses, and secure access patterns.
• Ability to travel 0-25%, on average, based on the work you do and the clients and industries/sectors you serve.
• Limited immigration sponsorship may be available.

Preferred

• Experience in consulting or a Big 4 environment.
• Experience with Java, Go, or JavaScript.
• Experience integrating with ServiceNow GRC, Archer, OneTrust, or BigID and building evidence pipelines mapped to control objectives.
• Experience building pipelines for security information and event management, security orchestration, automation, and response, vulnerability, identity, or cloud security posture data.
• Experience operationalizing large language model operations or machine learning operations capabilities, including evaluation, monitoring, versioning, and governance workflows.
• Security certification such as CompTIA Security+, Certified Information Security Manager, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Systems Security Professional, or a cloud certification.
