About the job
About the Role
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. The team prioritizes scale—building docs and delivering agent skills and knowledge base articles over meetings.
What You'll Do
- Work with field teams and customers to understand architectures, address concerns, and handle compliance questions.
- Contribute through customer interactions, scalable slides or white paper creation, internal enablement, process improvement, automation, or technical leadership.
- Identify customer pain points and work with product management and product marketing to improve product and messaging.
- Contribute to internal-facing services and automation that make life easier for field staff and customers.
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.
- Some scripting or programming experience, and excited to use AI relentlessly to scale impact.
- Understanding of the Databricks platform is a strong plus.
