• Implement row-level and column-level security to enforce fine-grained access controls aligned with business and regulatory requirements.
• Build PII masking and data anonymization workflows to support privacy compliance across all platforms.
• Define and maintain end-to-end data lineage tracking to provide visibility into data origin, transformations, and consumption.
• Collaborate with legal, compliance, and security teams to align governance practices with regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, CCPA, and SOC 2.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5+ years in data governance, data engineering, or data platform roles with a focus on access control and compliance.
• Deep, hands-on experience configuring Databricks Unity Catalog for enterprise governance, including metastore setup and policy management.
• Familiarity with Snowflake's Horizon data catalog and ability to align governance policies across Snowflake and Databricks environments.
• Experience integrating governance across heterogeneous platforms, including custom or standalone data systems like Elation.
• Deep understanding of RBAC and fine-grained security patterns (row/column-level) in modern data platforms.
• Familiarity with PII handling, data masking techniques, and compliance frameworks (GDPR, CCPA, SOC 2, or similar).
• Experience with lineage tools or built-in platform capabilities to track and visualize data flows end-to-end.
