Databricks Senior Manager to lead the Continuous Monitoring team at Databricks. Responsible for engineering infrastructure that measures security control effectiveness across cloud and enterprise systems.
Responsibilities
Databricks is looking for a Senior Manager to lead the Continuous Monitoring team.
That includes demonstrating control posture against the frameworks the business carries (SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, PCI DSS, and emerging AI governance requirements), but the underlying question is broader: are the controls Databricks depends on actually in place and operating everywhere they are supposed to be?
This is an engineering management role. The team writes production Python, operates data pipelines against cloud and SaaS APIs, and integrates with GRC and security tooling. Success is measured in control coverage, the accuracy and timeliness of what the team reports, and how quickly gaps get to the people who can close them.
As the leader of Continuous Monitoring, you'll be responsible for growing and developing the team; setting a clear vision, priority, and strategy; making the case for the headcount and tooling the program needs; and building durable partnerships across GRC (SAC, SAF, Governance, Risk Management, TPRM), IT, Legal, and Engineering — the organizations that own the controls your team monitors.
The Impact You Will Have
Team Building & People Leadership
Hire strong Security Software Engineers who bring genuine engineering skill to compliance automation.
Support engineers in their career development with clear, specific feedback; develop senior ICs into technical leaders and grow the next generation of security engineering managers.
Set and hold a high bar for engineering quality: code review standards, reliability and observability expectations for automation pipelines, and documentation that remains useful across audit cycles and team changes.
Build a team that combines GRC domain knowledge with software engineering discipline, and hire for both.
Control Measurement Program Ownership
Own the strategy and roadmap for Databricks' continuous monitoring platform — control state collection at cloud scale, continuous posture assessment, security and GRC tooling integration, and remediation tracking.
