Responsibilities:
- Build and support a scalable system to manage and validate configuration compliance across a large distributed device inventory (over 750,000 devices).
- Ensure device builds meet established standards prior to deployment, including validation of configuration, security posture, firmware versioning, and post‑production management requirements.
- Develop and refine automation to verify build standards, detect configuration drift, validate required controls, and surface issues before devices reach production.
- Partner with engineering, operations, and compliance teams to establish a governance model for automated checks, compliance workflows, and ongoing device health monitoring.
- Perform compliance evaluations of device builds, including secure configuration checks, vulnerability review, and confirmation of required security controls.
- Parse, analyze, and validate large datasets from device telemetry, configuration outputs, and automated check results to identify trends, exceptions, or systemic issues.
- Design, maintain, and enhance analytics workflows for correlating compliance findings, enriching device metadata, aggregating results, and producing decision-ready insights.
- Build dashboards, alerts, and reporting mechanisms for operational teams and leadership to track compliance posture, device health, exceptions, and remediation actions.
- Collaborate closely with business partners—even in challenging environments—to build rapport, drive alignment, and ensure successful implementation of compliance standards.
- Document processes, configuration standards, validation logic, and governance workflows with high attention to detail.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of compliance automation, policy-as-code standards, configuration baselines, and infrastructure-as-code validation practices.
- Support integration of compliance tools with APIs, orchestration platforms, telemetry systems, and dashboards.
- Troubleshoot device build issues, data inconsistencies, automation failures, and system-level problems within Unix/Linux environments.
- Apply a PM-oriented mindset to track tasks, follow up on action items, communicate status, and ensure accountability across teams.
- Explore and leverage emerging agentic AI patterns (e.g., MCP, A2A, intelligent automation flows) to enhance compliance automation and workflow intelligence.

- The ideal candidate will have 5 years of experience including strong Python scripting/development skills with experience parsing and transforming structured data (JSON, XML, CSV) and automating configuration/compliance checks.
- Background in a development, DevOps, or system administration environment with hands‑on experience building, deploying, patching, and validating systems in Unix/Linux environments.
- Security background in audit or compliance, or experience in an operational role involving building, deploying, patching, and maintaining systems with proper health monitoring (preferred).
- Solid understanding of networking (TCP/IP, DNS, routing, ACLs, firewalls) and cybersecurity fundamentals including secure configuration, segmentation, vulnerability management, and compliance monitoring.
- Experience implementing or supporting configuration compliance programs, policy as code, infrastructure as code, and automation platforms such as Ansible, Terraform, Salt, Puppet, or Chef.
- Ability to analyze large datasets using SQL or similar tools and build dashboards, reports, and alerts using Splunk, Grafana, Tableau, Kibana, or equivalent visualization platforms.
- Familiarity with RESTful APIs, cloud platform security concepts (AWS/Azure/GCP), and emerging agentic AI workflows such as prompt engineering, MCP, A2A patterns, or AI-driven orchestration.
- Exceptional communication, documentation, collaboration, and analytical skills with the ability to operate independently, manage tasks with a PM mindset, and build rapport in challenging stakeholder environments.
