About the role
- As our Security Operations Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Engineer, you will own and elevate Everpure’s enterprise data protection strategy across every digital and physical vector.
- You will establish data governance standards and architect practical controls that safeguard customer information, source code, intellectual property, and other sensitive assets without hindering business velocity.
- You will partner with Engineering, Legal, Privacy, DevSecOps, and GISO leadership to define how sensitive data is discovered, classified, monitored, and protected across the enterprise.
Responsibilities
- Own and mature the multi-channel DLP program end to end across endpoint, network, SaaS, application, cloud, and generative AI environments.
- Author data-classification frameworks, handling requirements, and exception processes while maintaining a sensitive-data map with data owners.
- Design and operate controls across macOS, Windows, and Linux, including removable media, printing, clipboard, screen capture, and local cloud-sync channels.
- Define egress inspection strategies across email, web, and general network traffic, and prevent sensitive-data movement through applications, APIs, databases, file shares, CI/CD systems, and unstructured repositories.
- Establish practical guardrails for sensitive data flowing into and out of public AI assistants, embedded copilots, internal models, and agentic tools.
- Design, tune, and maintain high-fidelity DLP detections using regex, exact data match (EDM), indexed document matching (IDM), document fingerprinting, custom classifiers, and contextual conditions.
- Develop SIEM queries, correlate DLP events with identity, asset, vulnerability, and threat context, and integrate telemetry with SOAR platforms.
- Direct investigations into significant data-loss events, serve as the escalation point for complex findings, and brief Legal, Privacy, HR, and leadership.
- Maintain runbooks, architectural diagrams, and program documentation while supporting audit and compliance engagements.
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience owning or materially contributing to an enterprise DLP or data-protection program across architecture, deployment, policy design, tuning, operations, and continuous improvement.
- Hands-on experience with enterprise DLP technologies such as Microsoft Purview, Zscaler, Netskope, Forcepoint, Broadcom/Symantec, Trellix, CrowdStrike Data Protection, or equivalent platforms.
- Strong experience with regex, EDM/IDM, document fingerprinting, data classification, custom classifiers, and detection tuning.
- Experience with data discovery, classification, CASB/SaaS security, cloud data protection, and controls for sensitive data across enterprise and cloud environments.
- Experience using Python, PowerShell, REST APIs, SIEM, and/or SOAR platforms to automate response, analyze telemetry, and improve operational outcomes.
- Working knowledge of data-protection and security frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, PCI DSS, and HIPAA.
- Ability to translate complex data-protection risks into clear decisions and business outcomes for technical teams, cross-functional partners, executives, auditors, and other stakeholders.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience with AI/GenAI data protection, DSPM, insider risk, privacy engineering, or source-code and secrets protection.
- Experience securing data in AWS, Azure, or GCP, or integrating data-protection controls into CI/CD, DevSecOps, containers, or Kubernetes.
- Background in application security, cloud security, or privacy engineering.
- Experience communicating data-protection strategy and posture to executives, auditors, regulators, or enterprise customers.
- Relevant security, privacy, or cloud certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CIPP, GIAC, SC-400, or equivalent.
