Sr. Staff Security Software Engineer - Agentic Security EngineeringActive$229K

The opportunity

The Agentic Security Engineering team is a horizontal, shared services engineering team that enables every Databricks security function AI-native. We enable building the AI agents, "personas," and own the shared platform that security teams across the org (Detection & Response,…

What you'll do

  • Define and evolve the architecture for the shared Security AI platform and: its paved road for governed agentic workflows.

  • Establish reusable patterns for agent identity, least-privilege access,: sandboxing, egress control, secret isolation, policy enforcement, auditability, and rollback.

  • Set engineering standards for reliability, observability, evaluation,: incident response, cost instrumentation, and safe production deployment.

  • Make high-leverage build, buy, and adopt decisions that keep the platform: focused on security-specific capabilities while using Databricks platform primitives wherever they meet the need.

  • Design the platform to support secure multi-agent workflows, tool registries,: policy-aware orchestration, and agent-to-agent collaboration.

  • Lead the design and development of production-grade platform capabilities: that enable security personas to operate reliably across a growing AI and security surface.

What they're looking for

  • Define how the platform measures successful runs, latency, failure rates,: rollback readiness, safety, governance coverage, trust, autonomy, and business value.
  • Establish qualification and maturity mechanisms that determine what a: security persona may do, what controls it requires, and how it earns additional autonomy.
  • Drive technical solutions for high-risk workflows, including offensive: security personas, untrusted inputs, sensitive data, production access, and automated tool execution.
  • Improve the velocity of safe AI development without compromising security,: governance, or operational reliability.
