How you will make 10X Impact:

• Engineer and scale technical guardrails for data protection, including encryption-at-rest/transit and cryptographic key management.
• Partner with Data Engineering to design and implement secure data pipelines, focusing on data masking and integrity checks.
• Deploy and manage security tooling for data classification, mapping, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) across the stack.
• Interface with Legal and Product teams to refine requirements for data retention, destruction, and privacy-by-design.
• Develop automated monitoring and access controls to ensure least-privilege principles for all Energy Sector data sets.

What you should have:
