When a machine breaks, a network drops, or an engineer is blocked by hardware, you roll up your sleeves and fix it.\nZero-Touch Provisioning: Engineer modern Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions so new teammates auto-configure securely on day one.\n\nCloud Budgeting and Deep FinOps: \nEngineering Cost-Efficiency: You will act as the financial gatekeeper for our tech stack. Go beyond basic budget tracking to implement aggressive FinOps practices.\nRight-Sizing: Spot anomalies, right-size workloads, and creatively optimise our AWS/GCP cloud footprint and SaaS licences to ensure we operate lean.\n\nAI-Driven Productivity and Operations: \nReinvent Internal IT: Actively identify and deploy GenAI tools, Copilots, and LLMs to radically boost internal productivity. If an AI tool can automate an operation or cut costs, you have the mandate to build and deploy it.\n\nSecurity as an Enabler (Zero-Friction, Zero-Trust): \nSecure Paved Roads: Design a modern, zero-trust security architecture embedded directly into the developer workflow. Security should be invisible to the engineer but impenetrable to the threat.\nNational-Grade Privacy: Act as the technical guardian of data privacy. Translate the DPDP Act and SOC2/ISO 27001 requirements into automated code and infrastructure guardrails.\nThreat Defence: Own IAM, endpoint security across all physical devices, and automated incident response pipelines.\n\nEcosystem Orchestration: \nManage our vendor ecosystem (hardware suppliers, software licences, and SaaS platforms) as an engineer, integrating external tools into our internal operating system.\nDemand engineering excellence from external partners, ensuring strict SLA adherence.\n\nRequirements: \nYou are a Builder: You have 6-8 years of deep, hands-on experience spanning internal IT infrastructure, FinOps/budget management, and information security.\nYou aren't afraid of the Hardware: You are just as comfortable opening up a machine to troubleshoot a hardware failure as you are running a security audit.\nYou are a creative problem solver: You look at developer friction - whether it's a slow laptop or a strict firewall - as an engineering bug to be fixed.\nYou are Forward-Looking: You play with modern GenAI tools on the weekends and constantly think about how to apply them to enterprise architecture.\nYou are Mission-Driven: You aren't just looking for a tech job. You want to use your engineering talents to build, maintain, and protect the digital public infrastructure that will transform the Indian economy.\nSkills\nFinOps, IAM, IT, MDM, cloud, endpoint, information security, infosec, security","description_format":"text","description_chars":2937,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"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":["Artificial Intelligence","Marketplaces","Digital Government"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-24T21:35:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/open-network-for-digital-commerce-lead-engineer-it-security-operations-ai","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/open-network-for-digital-commerce-lead-engineer-it-security-operations-ai.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T16:51:27Z","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":22911,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2047},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2047"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fopen-network-for-digital-commerce-lead-engineer-it-security-operations-ai"},{"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-network-for-digital-commerce-lead-engineer-it-security-operations-ai"},{"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-network-for-digital-commerce-lead-engineer-it-security-operations-ai"},{"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-network-for-digital-commerce-lead-engineer-it-security-operations-ai\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fopen-network-for-digital-commerce-lead-engineer-it-security-operations-ai"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3215571}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ondc.org","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3215571},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
