Gaming and hospitality operator scaling data infrastructure and security in a regulated environment
Sun International operates a multi-property gaming, hotel, and resort portfolio across Southern Africa, with a tech stack weighted toward cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), data orchestration (Kafka, Databricks), and security tooling (SIEM, SOAR, Purview). Current hiring signals an infrastructure-first push: active roles cluster around data governance, infrastructure-as-code automation, and security hardening—reflecting internal pain points in policy enforcement, network monitoring, and data ownership inconsistency.
