Data Protection Engineer

The Data Protection & Security Engineer will serve as the primary owner of First Student's data protection capability while also providing hands-on security engineering support across cloud, infrastructure, and application security domains. This is a practitioner role. The position partners with IT, I&O, and Legal teams to design and operate security controls that protect student, employee, and operational data across cloud and on-premises environments. The role defines what must be protected and how, coordinates with I&O and Data teams to ensure controls are implemented correctly, and builds validation and reporting of outcomes.

This role is a direct replacement for a departing senior team member who owned both data protection and security engineering. Candidates must be comfortable holding both domains simultaneously and ramping quickly into an active program.
