The successful candidate will lead the roadmap for sensitive-information protection and remediation, drive production rollout for an enterprise data access and governance layer across platforms like Outlook, Teams, Slack, Confluence, and Google Drive, and manage the integration of content into an AI knowledge platform for agent consumption. Key responsibilities include making build-vs-buy decisions, implementing export-control enforcement, and ensuring data masking and RBAC controls. The role requires expertise in backend systems, distributed systems, high-performance computing, and large-scale data processing. Candidates should possess experience with vector stores, RAG architectures, Databricks, and enterprise search tools to solve complex problems regarding content security and reliable AI consumption.

  • Own the roadmap for sensitive information detection and remediation in partnership with Finance, Legal, and Security teams.
  • Lead build-vs-buy decisions and evaluate third-party vendors for DLP and search tools.
  • Drive production rollout and self-service onboarding for enterprise data access platforms across email, messaging, and document stores.
  • Design and implement export-control enforcement, audit logging, and RBAC controls for enterprise content.
  • Integrate diverse content sources into the AI knowledge platform to ensure accurate, access-controlled data for AI agents.
  • Serve as the technical lead to align cross-functional stakeholders on ownership and priorities across three core workstreams.
  • Mentor engineers and establish operational rigor through documentation and runbooks to prepare for a management role.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 15+ years of experience building and operating large-scale enterprise platforms.
  • Strong foundation in backend systems, distributed systems, and high-performance computing for reliability and scale.
  • Experience with large-scale data processing, indexing pipelines, and secure API platforms or enterprise SaaS integrations.
  • Background in enterprise security, data governance, or compliance platforms including access control models and audit requirements.
  • Proven ability to drive cross-functional alignment across Security, Legal, Finance, and platform engineering teams.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills to translate complex technical tradeoffs for executive-level clarity.
  • Export-control enforcement, and production readiness.
