Role summary
The key functions of this role are two-fold:
Client project delivery: Leading and facilitating deliveries of privacy-focused client projects, including data privacy analysis, data de-identification/anonymization, and privacy engineering and advisory work. This role may involve leading projects, as well as providing technical and methodology support to project leads, and with time, reviewing and providing oversight for other’ client work.
Data science support and DataOps: Supporting efforts towards designing and implementing scalable data architectures, data processing workflows, and data pipelines which align with best practices in data security, privacy, and compliance. These efforts may be internal to PAI or be in support of client project delivery. This role may also require aspects of DevOps, including monitoring data pipeline or application performance and identifying and resolving issues as they arise. This role may also involve developing and maintaining data-driven applications and APIs.
