ABOUT XENONSTACK

XenonStack is a Data and AI Foundry for Agentic Systems, enabling enterprises to design, deploy, operate, and scale intelligent agents across digital and physical environments. We build enterprise-grade platforms across the agentic stack:

• Akira AI - Reasoning and agent orchestration.

Our mission is to accelerate the world's transition to AI + Human Intelligence by making agentic systems reliable, responsible, and enterprise-ready.

ABOUT THE ENGAGEMENT

We are building a Managed Services team to support a large-scale enterprise data platform. The platform spans Cloudera on AWS, an on-premises Oracle data warehouse, Oracle GoldenGate replication, Apache Spark for ETL and data processing, and Alation for data governance.

ROLE MISSION

Protect the enterprise data platform by managing access, encryption, auditing and security controls across cloud and on-premises systems, in line with regulatory expectations.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Manage data access controls, role-based access and access reviews across Cloudera, Oracle and Alation.

REPORTING

Reports to the Managed Services delivery lead and works closely with XenonStack's CISO and the client's security team.

HOW WE WORK WITH AI

AI is part of the daily workflow at XenonStack, not an add-on.

• At our Mohali/Chandigarh office, AI tools are open for use: log and configuration analysis, policy and access-review drafting, audit evidence preparation and documentation.
• When working on the client's platform, you follow the client's compliance and information security policy: use only client-approved tools, and never put client data, logs, credentials or configurations into any tool the client has not approved.
• Every AI-assisted output is verified by you before it is relied on or shared.
• Come ready to talk about what is in your AI stack, how you verify its output, and how you keep it compliant in a regulated environment.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Access reviews completed on schedule, with no unexplained privileged access.
• No audit finding left open past its agreed remediation date.
• Audit evidence ready on request, complete and traceable.
• No data exposure incidents; anomalies detected, contained and reported quickly.

• Access management and data protection practices
• Security controls across cloud and on-premises data platforms
• Audit and compliance requirements and access policy management
