Sr. Security Engineer

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all .
Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.
We are seeking a Senior Information Security Engineer to help transform the Intellectual Property (IP) protection program through advanced, AI-driven data loss prevention (DLP) and data labeling capabilities. This role goes beyond traditional rule-based DLP-focusing on contextual understanding of data, users, and behavior, large-scale discovery of sensitive IP, and adaptive, automated controls powered by machine learning and generative AI technologies
Key responsibilities
DLP Architecture & Operations

• Design and deploy DLP capabilities that understand data sensitivity, business context, user intent, and behavioral risk, rather than relying solely on patterns or keywords.
• Build detection rules for source code, hardware design files, algorithms, product roadmaps, and other IP artifacts (e.g., complex regex, fingerprints, EDM/IDM, ML-based classifiers).
• Tune and optimize policies to reduce false positives/negatives; implement tiered response workflows and auto-remediation actions.
• Establish monitoring for egress vectors (USB/removable media, print, email, SaaS, personal webmail, messaging, generative AI tools, cloud sync).
• Develop detections for anomalous IP access/exfil patterns (e.g., code repo mirroring, bulk downloads, atypical off-hours activity).
• Identify early indicators of IP misuse or exfiltration through behavioral analytics rather than reactive alerting.
• Define guardrails for the secure use of generative AI tools, ensuring proprietary data and IP are protected from unintended disclosure
• Author and maintain IP protection standards, DLP/runbooks, and exception processes.
• Define and track KPIs/KRIs (e.g., DLP alert quality, mean time to triage/close, exfil attempts prevented, classification coverage).

Data Classification & Labeling

• Implement scalable AI-assisted data discovery across endpoints, cloud services, SaaS platforms, and code repositories to identify previously unknown or unclassified IP.
• Implement and scale enterprise data classification and labeling for IP-heavy content.
• Drive adoption via policy-based auto-labeling, built-in nudges, and sensitivity label inheritance through workflows and repositories.
• Implement conditional access, DRM, and rights management for sensitive content shared internally and externally.

Qualifications and Experience

• Strong understanding of AI concepts, machine learning pipelines, and automation tools.
• Hands-on experience or coursework in Copilot Studio, UiPath, and SharePoint.
• Knowledge with cloud AI platforms: Azure AI Foundry, AWS Bedrock, etc.
• Experience in leveraging, creating, and driving AI in DLP solutions
• 3-5+ years in information security with hands-on DLP and/or data classification/labeling at scale.
• Proven experience designing and tuning DLP policies for endpoints, email, web, and SaaS
• Practical knowledge of IP data types (source code, firmware, design files, algorithms, roadmaps) and how they move across an enterprise.
• Strong operational understanding of using custom keywords and dictionaries
• Strong knowledge of networking and operating systems
• Knowledge of cloud service providers, including Azure, AWS, and GCP
• Hands-on expertise SIEM/SOAR platforms.
• Scripting/automation proficiency (PowerShell, Python, or Splunk SPL).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Education:

• B.Tech degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, other technical disciplines, or equivalent work experience.
• Candidates with a master's degree in technology or science and relevant professional certifications are preferred.
