Sr. Staff Security Software Engineer - Agentic Security Engineering
Databricks · Remote - California
About this role
**Sr. Staff Security Software Engineer - Agentic Security Engineering** **About the Team** The Agentic Security Engineering team is a horizontal, shared services engineering team that enables every Databricks security function AI-native. The team builds the shared Security AI platform that security teams across the org (Detection & Response, Threat Intelligence, Vulnerability & Product Security, Red Team, GRC, and Continuous Monitoring) use to operate at machine speed—safely and reliably. **The Role** As a **Senior Staff Security Software Engineer** on this team, you’ll be a senior technical authority and architect for Databricks’ shared Security AI platform. You will define platform architecture, technical standards, and multi-year engineering direction to help security teams build, deploy, and operate governed AI personas safely at scale. Your work spans secure agent identity, isolation and sandboxing, policy enforcement, auditability, observability, evaluation, orchestration, and reliable integration with Databricks and security infrastructure. You’ll also lead across organizational boundaries—aligning engineering and security leaders, driving adoption of common patterns, and resolving complex technical problems that impact multiple security functions. **The Impact You Will Have** **Shared Security AI Platform Architecture** - 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/adopt decisions to keep the platform focused on security-specific capabilities while leveraging Databricks platform primitives. - Design support for secure multi-agent workflows, tool registries, policy-aware orchestration, and agent-to-agent collaboration. **Reliable and Safe Agentic Systems at Scale** - Lead design and development of production-grade platform capabilities enabling security personas to operate reliably across a growing AI and security surface. - 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 to determine what a persona may do, what controls it requires, and how it earns additional autonomy. - Drive technical solutions for high-risk workflows (offensive security personas, untrusted inputs, sensitive data, production access, automated tool execution). - Improve velocity of safe AI development without compromising security, governance, or operational reliability. **Cross-Organizational Technical Leadership** - Serve as a technical authority for the shared Security AI platform across Security Operations, Product Security, Governance & Risk, Compliance & Assurance, Enterprise Security, and partner functions. - Align engineering and security leaders on platform direction, architectural tradeoffs, adoption priorities, and standards for safe agentic systems. - Partner with AI Champions and domain teams to turn recurring cross-functional needs into reusable platform capabilities. - Represent the platform in architecture reviews and technical decisions involving agent identity, i
