Principal Security Field Engineer

Databricks is the data and AI company, and they are seeking a Principal Security Field Engineer to empower customers to understand the security of the Databricks platform. The role involves meeting with customers, creating educational content, and addressing security-related queries while contributing to internal processes and automation.

Responsibilities:

• You will be viewed as a security expert as you work with field teams and customers to understand architectures, address concerns and handle compliance questions
• Your contributions may come in multiple ways, including customer interactions, scalable slides or white paper creation, internal enablement, process improvement, automation, or technical leadership—no one excels in every area, but all are valuable
• When you’re on the call, you will be directly appreciated. When you’re not, your impact will be felt across the company through the enablement, collateral, knowledge management, and systems you build
• You might not come from an assurance team, but you’ll come up to speed with common security and compliance regimes to save customers hours of effort and months of uncertainty
• You will identify customer pain points and work with product management and product marketing will improve our product and our messaging
• You will contribute to internal-facing services and automation that make life easier for our field staff and our customers
• You are probably already great at AI productivity, but you’ll sit in a group focused on becoming legendary

Requirements:

• 5+ years of technical pre-sales or post-sales experience where you're the person in the room explaining the hard concepts
• Equal love of understanding complex security principles and architectures, and of communicating them simply
• Real-world experience in multiple security domains such as IaaS+PaaS+SaaS, network and endpoint security, web applications, vulnerability management, identity management, and SIEM, though not all are needed
• You've done some scripting or programming, and are excited to use AI relentlessly to scale our impact across many thousands of customers and employees
• Understanding of the Databricks platform is a strong plus
