Mission
Databricks is hiring an L6 Staff Enterprise Security Engineer to expand Enterprise Security coverage across a rapidly evolving enterprise and product environment. This role will focus on securing enterprise applications, cross-system integrations, data flows, and emerging AI-adjacent use cases. The scope includes partnership with the Data team on corporate production development within the Databricks platform, through security reviews of implementation designs, hardening, configuration oversight, and broader enterprise data-security discussions, as well as modern access patterns such as MCP, integration, and trust boundary security, security automation, and broader security engineering support across enterprise platforms and services. This engineer will help identify risk, define practical security requirements, and improve security outcomes through strong technical judgment, hands-on engineering, and cross-functional partnership.
Opportunity
This role sits at the intersection of enterprise architecture, security engineering, product security partnership, and business enablement. Corporate production development within the Databricks platform remains owned by the Data team; EntSec defines how we engage, reviewing implementation designs, configurations, and data flows as capabilities are built, alongside ongoing enterprise application and integration reviews. The engineer will assess new technologies, integrations, and workflows with an emphasis on secure design, authentication and authorization, data handling, logging, third-party connectivity, API and token security, and operational resilience. The role partners closely with Product Engineering, IT, Legal Privacy, and business stakeholders to surface risk early, set clear requirements, and build automation that scales security coverage. This is a strong opportunity to help shape how Enterprise Security supports Databricks product development, enterprise data security, SaaS, and internal platforms, automation, and AI-connected systems as the environment continues to grow in complexity.
Requirements
• 8+ years of experience in security engineering, enterprise security, application security, cloud security, or a related field.
• Experience conducting security design or architecture reviews for product features, enterprise applications, SaaS platforms, integrations, or internally developed systems.
• Hands-on familiarity with the Databricks platform or comparable data/AI platforms (Unity Catalog, workspace governance, service principals, data access patterns).
• Strong understanding of authentication, authorization, SSO, federation, SCIM, API security, token handling, secrets management, and least privilege design.
• Experience assessing data flows, third-party integrations, trust boundaries, logging and monitoring, and security contr
