Role Summary
We're seeking a Data Governance Engineer to be the technical backbone of our data and AI operations, ensuring our data Lakehouse environment is secure, compliant, and architected for both governance and high-performance analytics.

You will architect solutions for data classification, access control, lineage tracking, and audit logging. You will work closely with our Data Product Manager, data stewards, data owners and business partners to ensure governance and security considerations are built into data products from the ground up, not bolted on afterward.

• Build analytics infrastructure and optimize cost and query performance to support business intelligence and AI workloads
• Implement audit logging and monitoring systems to track data access and usage
• Collaborate with data stewards, data owners, data engineers and analysts to ensure governance controls don't impede legitimate data use
• Develop automation for governance processes including access provisioning, compliance reporting, and policy enforcement
• Support AI governance by implementing controls for model data access, feature stores, and responsible AI practices
• Document technical architectures, security protocols, and governance procedures
• Stay current with evolving data privacy regulations and security best practices

What You Bring

• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Excellent documentation and communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences

Required Technical Skills

• Snowflake (security features, governance capabilities, performance tuning)
• AWS services
• SQL (advanced queries, optimization)
• Python or similar scripting language
• Git and version control
• Data modeling and database design

 
Nice to Have

• Certifications in cloud security (AWS Security Specialty, etc.) or privacy (CIPT, CIPP)
