Micron 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.
About the Team
Micron’s Cyber Defense & Resiliency organization is responsible for protecting the company’s global technology environment through modern security architecture, engineering, detection, and response capabilities. We drive strategic cybersecurity initiatives that strengthen enterprise resilience, advance Zero Trust principles, and ensure security capabilities evolve alongside emerging threats, cloud adoption, and AI technologies!
About the Role
As a Principal Cybersecurity Domain Architect, you will serve as the technical authority for Network Security, Endpoint Security, and Detection & Response! This is a deep, focused role for an architect who wants authority and mastery in a defined lane rather than breadth across the entire enterprise. You will set the direction for how Micron designs, deploys, and operates its network, endpoint, and detection and response capabilities, and be the go-to design authority that engineering, operations, and security leadership rely on within these domains. As we adopt AI and autonomous agent technologies at pace, this role extends detection and response to cover agentic defense, detecting and responding to threats against and originating from AI agents.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and evolve reference architectures, standards, design principles, and multi-year roadmaps for Network Security, Endpoint Security, and Detection & Response.
- Serve as the enterprise security design authority, conducting architecture reviews and approving security designs for new initiatives and technologies.
- Define technology strategies, evaluation criteria, and platform selections across EDR/XDR, SIEM, SOAR, network security, and related controls.
- Drive Zero Trust, defense-in-depth, segmentation, secure access, endpoint protection, and detection engineering strategies across the enterprise.
- Ensure detection and response architectures support rapid investigation, containment, recovery, and cyber resiliency objectives.
- Partner with AI Enablement and security leadership teams to develop detection and response capabilities for AI systems and autonomous agents.
- Produce security risk assessments, identify control gaps, and recommend remediation strategies for proposed solutions.
- Mentor architects and engineers while serving as the senior domain expert for complex cybersecurity decisions and executive briefings.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Systems
- 10+ years of cybersecurity experience with significant time spent in security architecture and engineering roles.
- Deep expertise in network security, endpoint security, and detection & response within large-scale enterprise environments.
- Experience developing security reference architectures, standards, governance models, and strategic technology roadmaps.
- Strong knowledge of Zero Trust, defense-in-depth, and industry frameworks such as NIST CSF, MITRE ATT&CK, and ISO 27001.
- Experience evaluating, designing, and implementing security technologies including EDR/XDR, SIEM, SOAR, and modern network security platforms.
- Understanding of emerging AI security risks and the ability to extend detection and response capabilities to address agentic threats.
- Exceptional communication and partner management skills with experience influencing senior technical and business leaders.
Preferred Qualifications
- CISSP, ISSAP, GIAC, SABSA, cloud security, or other advanced cybersecurity certifications.
- Hands-on expertise with enterprise-scale EDR/XDR, SIEM/SOAR, Zero Trust, ZTNA, SSE, and SASE solutions.
- Experience building detection, monitoring, or response capabilities for AI, LLM, or autonomous-agent environments.
- Knowledge of AI security frameworks such as MITRE ATLAS or OWASP Top 10 for LLMs.
- Experience securing manufacturing, OT/ICS, or other critical infrastructure environments.
- Background supporting global, highly regulated enterprises with hybrid cloud and on-premises environments.
- Experience partnering directly with CSO, CISO, or executive security leadership on risk and architecture strategy.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Cybersecurity Analyst
Align your credentials to SOC code 15-1212
USCIS adjudicators map Cybersecurity Analyst petitions to SOC code 15-1212. Pull the O*NET profile for that code and confirm your resume reflects its listed knowledge areas, tools, and education requirements before applying.
Filter employers by active LCA filings
Search the OFLC Wage Search for certified Labor Condition Applications under job title 'Information Security Analyst.' Employers with recent LCA certifications have already navigated the prevailing-wage process and are structurally ready to sponsor.
Target E-Verify enrolled employers first
STEM OPT employers must be E-Verify enrolled, and many H-1B sponsors are too. Prioritizing E-Verify companies narrows your list to employers already integrated with federal work-authorization systems, which reduces friction in the hiring and filing process.
Use Migrate Mate to surface sponsorship history
Pull up Cybersecurity Analyst listings on Migrate Mate to see which employers have filed H-1B petitions for this role. That DOL filing history filters out companies that advertise openness to sponsorship but have no documented record of following through.
Negotiate offer timing around H-1B cap deadlines
H-1B cap registrations open each March for an October 1 start date. If you receive an offer in April through September, ask whether the employer will file for the next fiscal year cycle or support a cap-exempt pathway if they qualify.
Request premium processing in your offer negotiation
Standard H-1B adjudication can run several months. USCIS offers premium processing that guarantees a decision within 15 business days. Confirm before signing whether your employer covers this fee or expects you to absorb it.
H-1B Visa Cybersecurity Analyst: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Cybersecurity Analyst role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes. USCIS classifies Cybersecurity Analyst positions under SOC code 15-1212, which requires at least a bachelor's degree in information security, computer science, or a closely related field. Your degree field must align with the specific duties in your offer letter. If your degree is in a tangentially related field, your employer may need to document the connection in the H-1B petition.
How do I find employers who actually sponsor H-1B visas for Cybersecurity Analyst positions?
Migrate Mate lists Cybersecurity Analyst roles filtered by employers with verified H-1B Labor Condition Application history. This means you're seeing companies that have already completed DOL prevailing-wage certification for this job title, not just employers who say they're open to sponsorship. That distinction matters because LCA filing is a concrete step in the sponsorship process, not a stated intention.
What security clearance considerations affect H-1B sponsorship for cybersecurity roles?
Many federal contractor cybersecurity positions require a U.S. security clearance, which H-1B holders are generally ineligible to obtain. This limits sponsorship opportunities at defense contractors and government agencies. Focus your search on commercial sector employers in finance, healthcare, cloud infrastructure, and technology, where clearance requirements are rare and H-1B sponsorship is more straightforward.
Can I use OPT STEM extension experience to strengthen my H-1B petition for a cybersecurity role?
Yes. If your STEM OPT employer is E-Verify enrolled and your role maps to the 15-1212 SOC code, that work history directly supports the specialty occupation argument in your H-1B petition. Document your job duties in detail during OPT so your employer can use that record when drafting the support letter. Continuity with the same employer also simplifies the filing.
What happens to my H-1B status if my cybersecurity employer is acquired or undergoes a layoff?
An acquisition that constitutes a successor-in-interest may allow your H-1B to transfer without a new petition, but your immigration counsel needs to confirm the legal structure of the transaction. In a layoff, you have a 60-day grace period to find a new sponsor, file a change of status, or depart the country. Filing a transfer petition with a new employer within that window maintains your work authorization during adjudication.
