The Security Field Engineering team helps data teams solve the world's toughest problems by empowering customers to understand the security of the Databricks platform and by helping account teams address questions that come up during security reviews. Reporting to the Head of Security Field Engineering, you will meet with customers to answer questions, train other Databricks team members, build customer-facing content such as slide decks, white papers, and maybe write code that customers can use. Our team prioritizes scale -- we'd rather spend an hour building a doc than be in ten hours of meetings, rather deliver agent skills and knowledge base articles than be the rock star answering all the questions. If you want high growth, autonomy, and to touch all elements of security, look no further. The impact you will have: 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. What we look for: 7+ 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.
