Future Opportunity Role – Talent Pipeline

This is a future opportunity role. We continuously meet talented engineers to support upcoming client projects. While there may not be an immediate opening, qualified candidates may be considered for future engagements.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and implement governance frameworks using Unity Catalog, including metadata management, data classification, and policy enforcement across the Databricks lakehouse.
• Integrate Snowflake's Horizon catalog and the Elation standalone platform into the broader governance model, ensuring consistent policies across platforms.
• Configure and maintain role-based access control (RBAC) across datasets, schemas, and compute resources in a multi-platform environment.
• 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.

• Work on projects that allow you to use leading tech.

This is a fully remote position open to candidates based in Latin America (LATAM).
