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 controls across interconnected systems.
Proven track record building security automation in production: monitoring, posture checks, review workflows, or tooling (Python, SQL, Terraform, or similar).
Ability to evaluate risk in modern enterprise environments, including automation platforms, AI-adjacent workflows, and emerging integration patterns such as MCP.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate technical risk into clear requirements and actionable guidance.
Experience driving security outcomes through engineering judgment, influence, and scalable process improvement.
Familiarity with cloud platforms, enterprise identity systems, and core control domains such as audit logging, encryption, access control, data retention, and incident response.
Outcomes
OUTCOME 1: Establish a consistent EntSec engagement model with the Data team on corporate production development within the Databricks platform: security review of implementation designs, hardening guidance, configuration oversight, and tracked remediation, while Data retains ownership of product development and delivery.
OUTCOME 2: Strengthen security practices across enterprise applications, integration, and data-security reviews by identifying key risks early, improving requirement quality, and helping teams address security issues earlier in the lifecycle, including AI-adjacent workflows, data flows, and integration patterns.
OUTCOME 3: Build automation and agent capabilities, including SSPM-style controls and Security AI Personas, that help secure systems from the start, reduce dependency on manual review, and embed security guidance earlier in product and integration lifecycles.
Competencies
COMPETENCY 1: Product and Design Security Partnership. Partners effectively with product and engineering teams to review implementation designs, surface risk early, and drive practical security requirements without owning product delivery.
COMPETENCY 2: Data Security and Technical Judgment. Applies strong security judgment to data flows, platform configurations, access patterns, and enterprise data-security decisions on and across the Databricks platform.
COMPETENCY 3: Security Automation and Scalable Engineering. Builds durable automation, monitoring, and tooling that scales EntSec coverage and reduces repeated manual work.
