  • Builds automation and integrations via REST APIs, SIEM/SOAR pipelines, and CI/CD to reduce manual effort in policy deployment, incident enrichment, and reporting.

  • Hands-on expertise with Digital Guardian, including DGMC policy and rule authoring, agent deployment and upgrade management, control set design, and incident workflow administration.
  • Demonstrated experience leading an endpoint security agent migration or consolidation at enterprise scale.
  • 4+ years of scripting and automation experience (Python, PowerShell, Shell) for endpoint policy management, reporting, and API-driven integration.
  • 3+ years working with security telemetry and SIEM platforms (Elastic, Splunk, or equivalent) for endpoint DLP incident analysis and reporting.
  • Proficiency in JIRA, Confluence, ServiceNow, and Agile/Scrum delivery.

Preferred

  • Experience with Microsoft Purview Information Protection, sensitivity labeling, and Microsoft 365 oversharing remediation.

  • Experience supporting regulatory examination and audit evidence production in a financial services or other highly regulated environment.


Competencies:
