TL;DR · Senior Data Security Engineer

JOB TITLE: Senior Data Security Engineer The Senior Data Security Engineer will lead the evolution of enterprise data protection from a traditional tool administration model to an engineering-driven security capability. This role involves building scalable, automated, and measurable data protection solutions across cloud, SaaS, endpoint, email, and collaboration environments. You will engineer enterprise DLP controls, modernize policy deployment using Policy-as-Code, and build CI/CD pipelines for policy lifecycle management. Key responsibilities include developing reusable templates, automating operational tasks, and integrating DLP, CASB, and SIEM platforms. You will utilize technologies including Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Information Protection, Defender for Cloud Apps, PowerShell, Python, REST APIs, Terraform, Bicep, YAML, and JSON. The role solves the business problem of reducing manual processes while improving security effectiveness and visibility across complex enterprise data architectures.

What you'll do

  • Engineer enterprise DLP controls across endpoint, email, SaaS, cloud storage, and network channels.
  • Transition manual DLP policy deployments to automated, version-controlled Policy-as-Code workflows.
  • Build CI/CD pipelines for data protection policy lifecycle management including testing, approval, and rollback.
  • Develop reusable policy templates, detection logic, and configuration baselines across DLP and CASB platforms.
  • Automate operational tasks such as configuration drift detection, alert enrichment, and recurring health checks.
  • Integrate DLP and CASB with SIEM, SOAR, and identity platforms to improve visibility and enforcement.
  • Tune detection logic using data-driven analysis to reduce false positives and improve signal quality.
  • Define and maintain KPIs and dashboards to demonstrate risk reduction and operational maturity.

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years of experience delivering enterprise Data Protection, Information Protection, Cloud Security, or Security Engineering capabilities.
  • Proven experience in Policy-as-Code, Security-as-Code, and DevSecOps methodologies to automate security control deployment.
  • Track record of replacing manual processes with engineering-driven solutions using APIs, Infrastructure-as-Code, and platform engineering.
  • Advanced knowledge of Data Loss Prevention (DLP), data classification, information protection, and data governance principles.
  • Hands-on expertise with Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Information Protection, Defender for Cloud Apps, and the Microsoft 365 security ecosystem.
  • Proficiency in scripting and automation tools including PowerShell, Python, REST APIs, Terraform, Bicep, YAML, or JSON.
  • Comprehensive understanding of cloud, SaaS, CASB, and enterprise data protection architectures.
  • Knowledge of regulatory, privacy, and compliance requirements and their implementation through scalable technical controls.
