This position requires a strong background in cloud infrastructure and a commitment to maintaining compliance and security standards.

- Possession of a current polygraph is highly desired and considered a significant plus.
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 5+ years of experience in production engineering, SRE, security engineering, or cloud infrastructure roles.
- Deep hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP) in areas such as IAM, networking, accounts/subscriptions/projects, and audit logging.
- Strong background in Infrastructure-as-Code and automation (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar) and CI/CD for infrastructure changes.
- Proven experience working in or with security-sensitive or regulated environments (e.g., SOC2, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, financial services, public sector).
- Familiarity with access review processes, policy baselines, and audit evidence for cloud environments.
- Demonstrated success running high-availability, security-critical services, including on-call responsibilities and incident management.
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across distributed systems.
Responsibilities
- Design, automate, and operate the IAM, account/subscription, and project lifecycle across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
- Review, implement, and continuously improve cloud identity and access policies to align with Databricks security standards.
- Build and maintain reliable, observable automation and tooling to apply cloud changes safely and repeatedly.
- Treat operational and security issues as software problems by eliminating toil and driving root-cause analysis.
- Own and improve security and audit logging data pipelines from cloud providers into internal systems.
- Partner with Security, Compliance, and Audit teams to provide evidence and policy updates.
- Operate and improve specialized, highly regulated environments including release management and patching cadences.
