We connect high-potential data, AI, and software professionals with meaningful work on the cutting edge of the federal sector, and our aim reaches beyond any single opening: to help you understand your strengths, find the right role, and grow throughout your career.\nODJ is organized around Roles and Openings. A Role is a durable career type, such as Data Engineer or AI Engineer: it describes the work, the skills that count, and where the path can lead. An Opening is a specific position hiring right now, with a level, a location, and an application. Roles help you see where you fit; from there, there is more than one way to move.\nToday, you can apply to any Opening that fits you through our secure application system. You can also register for a Role to express interest in that broader category of work. A Role registration is not an application to every future Opening.\nThe work\nData Security Specialists protect information where it is stored, processed, shared, and accessed. They design and maintain the data-facing controls that let organizations use valuable information while applying least privilege, strong authentication, encryption, classification, monitoring, and accountable access.\nThe role combines security architecture with operational discipline. Specialists work with data owners, platform teams, and governance practitioners to translate risk and control objectives into access policies, key-management practices, entitlement reviews, and auditable data flows. They focus on the protection of data itself, distinct from the infrastructure platform or software-delivery pipeline.\nWhat you'll build\n· Role-based and attribute-based access patterns for data platforms and services.\n· Data-classification standards and protective handling patterns tied to access and monitoring.\n· Encryption, key-management, tokenization, or masking implementations appropriate to the data use case.\n· Entitlement-review and audit-trail processes that make access decisions visible and accountable.\n· Data protection controls for exchange, storage, analytics, and artificial intelligence system inputs or outputs when applicable.\nWho you are\nYou make security usable without making it optional. You can distinguish a control objective from a particular tool and work with teams to choose enforcement that fits the data, system architecture, and mission.\nYou are precise about identity, authorization, classification, and evidence. You recognize that data protection depends on clear owners and well-defined access decisions, not only on perimeter defenses.\nWhat you bring\n· Experience with data access governance, authorization models, and entitlement review.\n· Working knowledge of encryption, key management, tokenization, masking, or similar data-protection controls.\n· Experience with data classification, audit logging, monitoring, and security incident support.\n· Knowledge of zero trust principles and how they inform granular data and service access.\n· Ability to apply National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53 security-control concepts to data platforms, exchanges, and analytical workloads.\nRegister for Data Security Specialist Role\nClick Apply below to register for Data Security Specialist Role.\nRequirements\nOpenings may specify a data platform, cloud service, security toolset, classification regime, or authorization context. Systems handling artificial intelligence workloads may also require experience protecting training data, retrieval sources, model inputs, outputs, and service identities.\nSome roles may emphasize design and engineering, while others may emphasize control operations, assessment support, or incident response. Data Security Specialists should coordinate with governance teams on policies and ownership, while retaining responsibility for technical data-protection implementation.\nBenefits\nCompensation, benefits, work location, and employment terms are set for each specific opening and will be stated with that opening","description_format":"text","description_chars":4083,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Recruiting & Staffing","Job Boards & Aggregators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T15:59:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.192,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":79,"expected_fill_days":5,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/open-data-jobs-data-security-specialist-role","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/open-data-jobs-data-security-specialist-role.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T06:22:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8542,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":679417},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=679417"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fopen-data-jobs-data-security-specialist-role"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fopen-data-jobs-data-security-specialist-role"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fopen-data-jobs-data-security-specialist-role"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/open-data-jobs-data-security-specialist-role\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fopen-data-jobs-data-security-specialist-role"}]}
