A Senior Governance Engineer is a leading technical contributor who can consistently take a loosely defined business or technical requirement, architect and build it to a well-defined specification, and execute on it at a high level. You have a strong focus on metrics, both for the impact of their work and for its inner workings / operations.

As a Senior Governance engineer, you will play a crucial role in ensuring our product teams produce reliable, scalable, and secure infrastructure and applications. You will collaborate closely with the platform infrastructure and data operations teams to implement security and governance products within our existing technological infrastructure.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Design and deploy scalable and reliable governance solutions using a mix of existing technologies, open-source tools, and newly identified integrations.
  • Build and maintain an automated policy engine that integrates with existing authorization systems, uses policy as code, is cloud-native (GCP), and integrated with the other Onyx Platforms and frameworks.
  • Enable governance by design and implementation of user-friendly products through the use of computational and automatable engines and integrations with existing data platforms and pipelines, metadata, and authorization systems.
  • Understand, amplify with Onyx and integrate requirements from security and internal regulatory teams to ensure compliance with security policies and regulations as part of the governance products.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business requirements and translate them into scalable and efficient governance products.
  • Use standard agile development SDLC processes for development management, CI/CD, and automation for infrastructure provisioning and deployment processes.
  • Stay updated with the latest trends and best practices in security, governance, and data governance and contribute to the continuous improvement of our overall infrastructure and data platform.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior team members, fostering a collaborative and knowledge-sharing culture within the organisation.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve governance related issues and provide technical support to internal teams.
