The role combines customer-facing security advisory work with scalable enablement, including white papers, slide decks, knowledge-base content, automation, and occasional code. Candidates need at least seven years of technical pre-sales or post-sales experience and the ability to explain complex security concepts clearly. Relevant expertise spans cloud and SaaS security, identity, network and endpoint security, web application security, vulnerability management, SIEM, and compliance frameworks. This is a high-autonomy role focused on multiplying impact across a large customer and employee base rather than relying solely on live meetings.[Apply for this job](#job-application)[View company](https://jobicy.com/company/databricks.md)ShareRemote from[USA](https://jobicy.com/job-region/usa.md)SalaryUSD 216,200–371,700 / yrDepartment[Cybersecurity](https://jobicy.com/categories/cybersecurity.md)EmploymentFull TimeExperienceSeniorPublished9 Nov 2026Apply before9 Dec 2026Listing views24Application actions2Application toolkit ## Make your next move.

RDQ327R177 While candidates in the listed location(s) are encouraged for this role, candidates in other US locations will be considered. The Security Field Engineering team helps data teams solve the world’s toughest problems by empowering customers to understand the security of the [Databricks](https://jobicy.com/company/databricks.md) 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. * Understanding of the Databricks platform is a strong plus.

I would then map the platform's controls to those requirements, clearly document shared-responsibility boundaries, involve specialists where necessary, and provide reusable evidence or reference material to reduce future review effort. Tell us about a time you turned recurring customer security questions into a scalable solution. I would describe the recurring questions, quantify their impact, and explain how I created a structured knowledge base, reference architecture, FAQ, or automated evidence-gathering workflow. I would measure success through reduced response time, higher field adoption, and fewer repetitive escalations. How do you explain a complex security architecture to a non-specialist executive audience? I begin with the business risk and desired outcome rather than technical implementation details. I use simple diagrams, plain language, and a concise explanation of controls, ownership, residual risks, and decisions needed, while keeping detailed technical material available for follow-up. What security domains are most important when evaluating a SaaS data and AI platform? I would assess identity and access controls, data isolation, encryption and key management, network architecture, logging and monitoring, secure software development, vulnerability management, incident response, and compliance evidence. The priority depends on the customer's data sensitivity, deployment model, and regulatory environment. How would you use scripting or AI tools to increase the effectiveness of a security field engineering team? I would automate repeatable tasks such as control mappings, questionnaire drafting, evidence retrieval, content classification, and knowledge-base discovery. I would validate outputs carefully, protect sensitive customer information, and design workflows that produce consistent, reviewable results for field teams. Next step ## Apply now.
