A place to share your ideas freely - even if they’re daring or different. Where the true you can learn, grow, and thrive. At Verizon, we power and empower how people live, work and play by connecting them to what brings them joy. We do what we love - driving innovation, creativity, and impact in the world. Our V Team is a community of people who anticipate, lead, and believe that listening is where learning begins. In crisis and in celebration, we come together - lifting our communities and building trust in how we show up, everywhere & always. Want in? Join the #VTeamLife.\nWhat you'll be doing:\nVerizon’s Exposure and Vulnerability Management (EVM) Engineering and Reporting team is seeking a Sr. AI and Data Engineer to lead the development of our security data architecture, web infrastructure, and artificial intelligence models. In this role, you will be the hands-on driving force building scalable data pipelines, managing the web infrastructure that hosts our reporting solutions, and developing AI models to predict and prioritize cybersecurity vulnerabilities.\nWhile you will build AI and predictive analytics solutions, your primary focus will be engineering the robust data pipelines, databases, and web services that make those intelligent insights possible. You will have the opportunity to influence the blueprint of how diverse asset data is structured, securely hosted, and meaningfully delivered to the security organization.\nBy engineering scalable data models, reliable web infrastructure, and intelligent AI pipelines, you will help ensure our infrastructure is ready for predictive analytics and that our reporting solutions provide proactive, automated insights rather than just historical data.\nKey Responsibilities include:\nData Pipeline & Architecture: Design, construct, and maintain highly scalable data pipelines (ETL/ELT) that ingest, transform, and centralize complex security data from numerous Systems of Record (SoR) into the Cyber Data Hub.\nWeb Infrastructure & API Management: Build, maintain, and optimize the backend web infrastructure required to securely serve data dashboards, reporting portals, and AI model endpoints to end-users.\nDatabase Engineering: Engineer comprehensive data models (conceptual, logical, physical) and optimize relational and non-relational database architectures for both high-volume transactional processing and BI/analytics workloads.\nAI & Predictive Analytics: Develop and deploy machine learning models and intelligent automation to enhance vulnerability risk scoring, utilizing the data foundations and infrastructure you have built.\nFrameworks & Automation: Create reusable, automated frameworks and CI/CD workflows for data processing, web deployments, and model training to ensure low-touch, sustainable operations.\nData Integrity & Governance: Implement strict data quality checks, schema validations, and compliance safeguards to ensure the absolute integrity of downstream reporting and AI inputs.\nEnvironment Management: Maintain and monitor our web servers, databases, ML staging, and UAT reporting environments to ensure high availability and reliable, secure deployment of EVM products.\nTechnical Leadership: Translate complex security program needs into concrete data and infrastructure tasks, guiding junior engineers and serving as a key technical liaison between security operations and core engineering.\nWhat We’re Looking For:\nWe need a builder with a vision-someone who views complex security problems through the lens of data architecture, scalable web infrastructure, and intelligent automation. You should be deeply analytical, thrilled by processing massive datasets, capable of maintaining the web services that deliver those insights, and eager to leverage AI to stay ahead of emerging threats. You flourish in fast-paced environments and possess the technical credibility to guide both infrastructure execution and architectural direction.\nYou'll need to have:\nBachelor's degree or four or more years of work experience. \nEight or more years of relevant experience required, demonstrated through one or a combination of job-related work experience, military experience, or specialized training or education (non-collegiate).\nExperience in Python and SQL for complex data manipulation, ETL processes, and algorithmic development.\nAdvanced expertise in writing, optimizing, and debugging complex queries and schemas for relational (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle) and non-relational (MongoDB, Elasticsearch) databases, as well as modern Data Warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery).\nProven experience deploying, securing, and maintaining web infrastructure, REST APIs, and backend frameworks, as well as working with web servers/proxies.\nHands-on experience developing predictive models and integrating ML libraries into production web environments.\nPrior experience engineering within a Vulnerability Management program or Cyber Security organization.\nEven Better if You Have:\nExceptional ability to translate client needs into achievable technical requirements and present infrastructure/data roadmaps to executive leadership.\nAdvanced experience with cloud-native web hosting, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and serverless architecture.\nExperience fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) or building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) frameworks to run on top of your data infrastructure.\nUnderstanding of security frameworks (NIST, SOX, FISMA) and the full IT stack (OS, Network, Cloud, SDLC).\nIf Verizon and this role sound like a fit for you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every “even better” qualification listed above.\nWhere you’ll be working\nIn this hybrid role, you'll have a defined work location that includes working from home and a minimum of three days per week in the office, which will be set by your manager. Employees are responsible for maintaining compliance with hybrid work policies.Scheduled Weekly Hours\n40Equal Employment Opportunity \nVerizon is an equal opportunity employer.
