While candidates in the listed location(s) are encouraged for this role, candidates in other (US) locations will be considered.
The Agentic Security Engineering team is a horizontal, shared services engineering team that enables every Databricks security function AI-native. We enable building the AI agents, "personas," and own the shared platform that security teams across the org (Detection & Response, Threat Intelligence, Vulnerability & Product Security, Red Team, GRC, and Continuous Monitoring) build on to operate at machine speed, safely and reliably.
We leverage AI to transform how security is done.
As a Senior Staff Security Software Engineer on the Agentic Security Engineering team, you will be a senior technical authority and architect for Databricks’ shared Security AI platform.
You will define the platform architecture, technical standards, and multi-year engineering direction that allow security teams to build, deploy, and operate governed AI personas safely at scale. Your work will span secure agent identity, isolation and sandboxing, policy enforcement, auditability, observability, evaluation, orchestration, and reliable integration with Databricks and security infrastructure.
You will operate across organizational boundaries, aligning engineering and security leaders on platform architecture, driving adoption of common patterns, and resolving complex technical problems that affect multiple security functions. You will influence the quality, safety, reliability, and velocity of the broader Security AI ecosystem without owning the domain logic or business outcomes of every individual persona.
