The posting

The work

Data Security Specialists protect information where it is stored, processed, shared, and accessed. They design and maintain the data-facing controls that let organizations use valuable information while applying least privilege, strong authentication, encryption, classification, monitoring, and accountable access.

The role combines security architecture with operational discipline. Specialists work with data owners, platform teams, and governance practitioners to translate risk and control objectives into access policies, key-management practices, entitlement reviews, and auditable data flows. They focus on the protection of data itself, distinct from the infrastructure platform or software-delivery pipeline.

What you'll build

· Role-based and attribute-based access patterns for data platforms and services.

· Data-classification standards and protective handling patterns tied to access and monitoring.

· Encryption, key-management, tokenization, or masking implementations appropriate to the data use case.

· Entitlement-review and audit-trail processes that make access decisions visible and accountable.

· Data protection controls for exchange, storage, analytics, and artificial intelligence system inputs or outputs when applicable.

Who you are

You make security usable without making it optional. You can distinguish a control objective from a particular tool and work with teams to choose enforcement that fits the data, system architecture, and mission.

You are precise about identity, authorization, classification, and evidence. You recognize that data protection depends on clear owners and well-defined access decisions, not only on perimeter defenses.

What you bring

· Experience with data access governance, authorization models, and entitlement review.

· Working knowledge of encryption, key management, tokenization, masking, or similar data-protection controls.

· Experience with data classification, audit logging, monitoring, and security incident support.

· Knowledge of zero trust principles and how they inform granular data and service access.

· Ability to apply National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53 security-control concepts to data platforms, exchanges, and analytical workloads.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
