Technology, Data & Digital · Data, AI & Analytics · Data Engineering · Cybersecurity · Software Engineering
In short
Ericsson is seeking a Master's student to design and implement a unified self-service data access model for humans and AI agents. The thesis project involves developing a proof of concept using the RU SW Data Portal with integrations for AWS, Snowflake, and OpenSearch.
Responsibilities
- Review practices in self-service data access, identity and access management, authorization, and data governance.
- Define a unified access model covering requests, policy evaluation, approval, provisioning, auditing, review, and revocation.
- Design a portal-agnostic architecture with a common access contract and platform-specific adapters.
- Implement a proof of concept using the RU SW Data Portal as the first client.
- Demonstrate selected end-to-end access flows for AWS, Snowflake, and OpenSearch.
- Evaluate how the same governed model supports both human users and AI agents while preserving least privilege, traceability, and revocation.
- Assess the solution’s security, correctness, usability, maintainability, and portability, and provide recommendations for future platforms.
Requirements
- Pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Cybersecurity, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
- Programming experience in Python.
- Understanding of REST APIs and software integration.
- Interest in identity and access management, authorization, security engineering, cloud platforms, and data governance.
- Analytical, structured, and able to work independently on a system-design and implementation problem.
Desired Qualifications
- Familiarity with AWS, Snowflake, OpenSearch, databases, metadata management, or policy-based access control is an advantage.
Benefits
- Outstanding opportunity to use skills and imagination to push boundaries.
- Challenging work in a diverse team of innovators.
- Opportunity to craft what comes next.
