About the Role
Design and implement industry-standard company data infrastructure and tooling, along with airtight information security and architecture, to enable multiple mission-critical projects for Ultra’s long-term growth. Own the company's data infrastructure and information security architecture end to end, including auditing, gap analysis, and building the authZ/authN foundation for AI tooling and enterprise customers. Develop a platform for safe, compliant data access for engineers and vibe-coders.
Responsibilities
- Audit existing authn/authz infrastructure and produce a gap analysis against industry standards
- Design and execute a roadmap to bring infrastructure to industry-standard within 6 months
- Drive SOC2 compliance workstream — controls, evidence, remediation; turn compliance requirements into enforceable platform controls
- Build scalable systems/tooling for onboarding new data sources
- Design and implement authorization architecture that securely enables AI tooling across the company
- Support software engineers and vibe-coders so everyone can ship code safely and quickly
- Partner with engineering leadership on architecture decisions that support enterprise-market expansion
Requirements
- 7+ years in infrastructure/security engineering, with real ownership of authn/authz systems in production
- Proficient in Python; a software generalist who knows when to build vs. buy
- Led or heavily contributed to a SOC2 (or equivalent) compliance effort
- Comfortable auditing legacy systems and making the call on what to fix, replace, or leave alone
- Experience designing data infrastructure that scales to onboard new data sources without re-architecting each time
- Dangerous with LLMs because you know when they're wrong; thought hard about misbehaving agents and what it takes to secure AI tooling
- Can look at a backlog of 'we need access to X' requests and pick the highest-leverage platform investment
- Bias toward shipping durable systems over quick patches; document decisions so others can build on them
