Sr. Security Engineer

Req. ID:\n\nJR95681 Sr. Security Engineer\n\nOur vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.\n\nMicron 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.\n\nWe 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\u2014focusing 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\n\nKey responsibilities\n\nDLP Architecture \u0026 Operations\n\n * Design and deploy DLP capabilities that understand data sensitivity, business context, user intent, and behavioral risk, rather than relying solely on patterns or keywords.\n * 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).\n * Tune and optimize policies to reduce false positives/negatives; implement tiered response workflows and auto-remediation actions.\n * Establish monitoring for egress vectors (USB/removable media, print, email, SaaS, personal webmail, messaging, generative AI tools, cloud sync).\n * Develop detections for anomalous IP access/exfil patterns (e.g., code repo mirroring, bulk downloads, atypical off-hours activity).\n * Identify early indicators of IP misuse or exfiltration through behavioral analytics rather than reactive alerting.\n * Define guardrails for the secure use of generative AI tools, ensuring proprietary data and IP are protected from unintended disclosure\n * Author and maintain IP protection standards, DLP/runbooks, and exception processes.\n * Define and track KPIs/KRIs (e.g., DLP alert quality, mean time to triage/close, exfil attempts prevented, classification coverage).\n\n\n\nData Classification \u0026 Labeling\n\n * Implement scalable AI-assisted data discovery across endpoints, cloud services, SaaS platforms, and code repositories to identify previously unknown or unclassified IP.\n * Implement and scale enterprise data classification and labeling for IP-heavy content.\n * Drive adoption via policy-based auto-labeling, built-in nudges, and sensitivity label inheritance through workflows and repositories.\n * Implement conditional access, DRM, and rights management for sensitive content shared internally and externally.\n\n\n\nQualifications and Experience\n\n * Strong understanding of AI concepts, machine learning pipelines, and automation tools. \n * Hands-on experience or coursework in Copilot Studio, UiPath, and SharePoint. \n * Knowledge with cloud AI platforms: Azure AI Foundry, AWS Bedrock, etc. \n * Experience in leveraging, creating, and driving AI in DLP solutions\n * 3-5+ years in information security with hands-on DLP and/or data classification/labeling at scale.\n * Proven experience designing and tuning DLP policies for endpoints, email, web, and SaaS\n * Practical knowledge of IP data types (source code, firmware, design files, algorithms, roadmaps) and how they move across an enterprise.\n * Strong operational understanding of using custom keywords and dictionaries\n * Strong knowledge of networking and operating systems\n * Knowledge of cloud service providers, including Azure, AWS, and GCP\n * Hands-on expertise SIEM/SOAR platforms.\n * Scripting/automation proficiency (PowerShell, Python, or Splunk SPL).\n * Excellent written and verbal communication skills\n\n\n\nEducation: \n\n * B.Tech degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, other technical disciplines, or equivalent work experience. \n * Candidates with a master\u2019s degree in technology or science and relevant professional certifications are preferred.\n\n\n\nJob Profile(s):\n\nInfo Security Eng E3\n\nRelocation level: (TBD)\n\nBefore Getting Started \nPlease review Micron\u2019s Internal Job Application Policy on your regional PeopleNow Career Opportunities page before searching and applying for jobs.
