This crucial security component enables policy-based access control for various Data Loss Prevention (DLP) modules. The successful candidate will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and optimize security features aimed at protecting sensitive information. If you have a solid background in software engineering, data security, and DLP technologies, we encourage you to apply.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and Develop: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and maintain the Policy Enforcement Tool(s), ensuring it supports the latest security requirements and business needs.
  • DLP Integration: Implement features that track test cases, log incoming/outgoing requests, and identify sensitive information passing through DLP measures.
  • Compliance and Security: Ensure all developments comply with business standards, industry regulations, and organizational security requirements.
  • Testing: Work with synthetic data (system-generated test/mockup data) to rigorously test security controls and ensure the tool’s effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
  • Performance Optimization: Optimize the performance and scalability of the Policy Enforcement Point to meet both current and future security demands.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with other engineering teams to integrate DLP capabilities across various platforms and systems.

Required Qualifications:

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
  • Software Engineering Skills: Proven experience in solving complex software engineering problems and designing security-focused tools and applications.
  • DLP Expertise: Familiarity with Data Loss Prevention (DLP) concepts and tools, specifically in asset protection contexts.
  • Data Security: Strong understanding of access controls (role-based and attribute-based), data patterns, and data mining techniques.
  • Collaboration Skills: Excellent communication, collaboration, and teamwork abilities.
  • Agile Experience: Experience working in an Agile development environment is a plus.
  • Data Handling: Experience working with common data repositories (SQL, MSSQL Server, MongoDB, etc.), and familiarity with synthetic data for testing.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with developing or enhancing Policy Enforcement Points or similar security tools.
  • Knowledge of security protocols, industry regulations, and frameworks (e.g., NIST, GDPR, HIPAA).
  • Familiarity with cloud-based security tools and DLP solutions.
  • Experience with automated testing and continuous integration (CI/CD) processes.

Certifications (if applicable):

Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) or similar cybersecurity certifications.

Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) or other relevant certifications in data security.
