Job Description

This position is ineligible for visa sponsorship. To be considered for this role, you must be legally authorized to work in the United States and not require sponsorship for employment now or in the future. 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.

• 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.
