h2 class= PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer data-section-id= 1qw796 data-start= 142 data-end= 161 About Databricks /h2

p data-start= 163 data-end= 419 Databricks is the data and AI company. More than 12,000 organizations worldwide — including Comcast, Condé Nast, Grammarly, and over 50% of the Fortune 500 — rely on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform to unify and democratize data, analytics and AI. /p

p data-start= 421 data-end= 589 Databricks is headquartered in San Francisco, with offices around the globe and was founded by the original creators of Lakehouse, Apache Spark™, Delta Lake and MLflow. /p

h2 data-section-id= 1wcrfjg data-start= 591 data-end= 608 About the Team /h2

p data-start= 610 data-end= 812 The Continuous Monitoring (ConMon) team at Databricks builds and operates the engineering infrastructure that keeps Databricks' security control posture visible, measurable, and defensible at all times. /p

p data-start= 814 data-end= 1097 We build automation that continuously assesses whether security controls are actually working across cloud environments, SaaS platforms, identity systems, and enterprise applications — surfacing drift, coverage gaps, and control failures as they happen rather than at the next audit. /p

p data-start= 1099 data-end= 1304 Our work sits at the intersection of security engineering and GRC: we turn control requirements into code, evidence collection into automation, and security posture into intelligence that drives decisions. /p

p data-start= 1306 data-end= 1482 The ConMon team also maintains security tooling and scanning infrastructure to aid control evaluation. This includes scanning for secret leaks, asset vulnerabilities, and SAST. /p

p data-start= 1484 data-end= 1720 As Databricks' security program, cloud footprint, and regulatory obligations all scale, the Continuous Monitoring team is responsible for ensuring the company's control posture is always verifiable, always current, and never a surprise. /p

h2 data-section-id= 1froeg data-start= 1722 data-end= 1733 The Role /h2

p data-start= 1735 data-end= 1821 Databricks is looking for a strong data-start= 1763 data-end= 1781 Senior Manager /strong to lead the Continuous Monitoring team. /p

p data-start= 1823 data-end= 2096 You will own the engineering function that measures whether Databricks' security controls are working — across cloud infrastructure, identity, SaaS, and enterprise systems — and turns that measurement into something the Security organization, and its auditors, can rely on. /p

p data-start= 2098 data-end= 2411 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? /p

p data-start= 2413 data-end= 2740 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. /p

p data-start= 2742 data-end= 2901 The role requires enough technical depth to review that work credibly, and enough judgement to prioritize the controls where measurement actually reduces risk. /p

p data-start= 2903 data-end= 3295 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. /p
