You will be a senior individual contributor and subject matter expert, within the Enterprise Security team and will closely partner with IT, Network Engineering, Legal, Privacy, Compliance, and application owners. Success requires hands-on engineering, design, operational ownership, and clear risk communication.

A day in the life (Responsibilities) 

Data Loss Prevention Engineering

• Own the DLP engineering roadmap and control lifecycle, from requirements and architecture through proof of concept, testing, phased deployment, tuning, operations, and continuous improvement.
• Design and operate controls for sensitive data across managed endpoints, email, web and network channels, SaaS and collaboration applications, cloud environments, and data repositories.
• Build and maintain data discovery and classification logic using sensitive information types, regular expressions, data matching, document fingerprinting, OCR, and machine learning where appropriate.
• Translate requirements into precise policies and response actions with documented exceptions.
• Establish safe policy rollout practices with test cases, pilot groups, change control, user impact analysis, exception review, and measurable acceptance criteria.
• Triage and investigate DLP alerts and incidents, determine root cause and business context, coordinate containment and remediation, and reduce false positives without weakening protection.
• Integrate DLP with SASE services, SIEM/SOAR platforms, MDM, ticketing systems, data classification, data security posture management, and relevant response workflows.
• Define dashboards and metrics for coverage, control effectiveness, detection precision, recurring exfiltration paths, policy exceptions, incident volume, and time to resolution.

Secure Access Service Edge Engineering

• Engineer and operate scalable SASE capabilities for corporate fleet, SaaS, private apps, and cloud environments.
• Configure and optimize core capabilities including secure web gateway, cloud access security broker, zero trust network access, firewall as a service, DNS security, remote browser isolation, DLP, digital experience monitoring, and SD-WAN or SSE integrations.
• Manage traffic steering and connectivity patterns such as endpoint clients, browser or proxy configurations, private application connectors, IPsec or GRE tunnels, and branch or cloud on ramps.
• Lead phased migrations from legacy VPN, proxy, and perimeter security solutions while maintaining service continuity, policy consistency, and a reliable end-user experience.
• Create context-aware access and data protection policies using device posture, application risk, destination, data sensitivity, and session risk signals.
• Develop TLS inspection standards, certificate deployment practices, bypass criteria, privacy safeguards, and documented exception processes in partnership with relevant stakeholders.
• Monitor availability, latency, tunnel and connector health, service edge performance, and policy impact; troubleshoot access and application performance issues across endpoint, network, and cloud layers.
• Design for resilience through regional failover, redundant connectivity, configuration standards, observability, tested recovery procedures and controlled automation.
