  • Design and implement security architecture for AI use cases with role-based access controls.
  • Ensure compliance of AI data usage with Apple’s data classification standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Implement row-level security policies based on user identity across Snowflake and other data systems.
  • Lead adversarial testing to identify vulnerabilities in AI systems and drive remediation efforts.
  • Define and enforce data access boundaries for AI agents and chat applications to restrict sensitive data access.
  • Develop and enforce US-wide AI data security standards, best practices, and developer guidelines.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of professional experience in data security, cybersecurity, or related fields with a focus on security architecture.
  • Proven hands-on experience designing and implementing RBAC, row-level, and column-level security policies in modern cloud platforms like Snowflake and Databricks/DBX.
  • Strong expertise in API security controls including authentication and authorization protocols such as OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, JWT.
  • Proficiency in programming languages like Python, Java, Go for scripting, automation, and building security controls within data pipelines.
  • Solid understanding of data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and experience translating regulatory requirements into technical access controls.
  • Experience implementing security logging, audit trails, and monitoring solutions to detect unauthorized access or data exfiltration attempts.
