Trellix Endpoint DLP Engineer

The Opportunity:

We are seeking a skilled Trellix Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Engineer to design, deploy, manage, and operationalize enterprise endpoint data protection controls. You will serve as the technical owner for Trellix EDR/DLP components, ensuring sensitive data is identified, monitored, and protected across the enterprise. This role is critical to our information protection strategy and requires strong analytical, engineering, and stakeholder engagement capabilities.

You will play a core role in safeguarding the organization's most critical asset—its data. This position offers the opportunity to build an enterprise-grade data protection program with visibility across security leadership, risk, and operational teams.

Lead enterprise deployment, configuration, tuning, and maintenance of Trellix Endpoint DLP, including policy automation, agent health, and performance optimization. Assist with analyzing, testing, and operationalizing DLP policies, rulesets, classification logic, and incident workflows aligned to data governance requirements. Integrate the Trellix DLP platform with SIEM, SOAR, CASB, CMDB, and identity security tools for end-to-end visibility and automated response. Analyze DLP telemetry, alerts, and incidents to identify data exfiltration patterns, risk signals, and false positives.

Partner with legal, compliance, data governance, and HR to define rulesets, thresholds, and exception workflows. Develop engineering playbooks, standard operating procedures, and runbooks for policy lifecycle management. Manage endpoint agent health, upgrades, change control, and enterprise-wide platform stability. Conduct root-cause analysis for user-impact, policy misfires, broken workflows, and endpoint inventory issues. Provide guidance to application and business teams on data classification, tagging, and secure data-handling practices.

Align DLP implementations with Zero Trust, privacy, and enterprise data protection strategies.
