About the Role

  • Lead a team dedicated to embedding security into Databricks’ core platforms — including compute, identity, data plane, control plane, Kubernetes infrastructure, and developer frameworks.

  • Shape company-wide security architecture by driving “secure-by-default” platforms, opinionated frameworks, and systemic guardrails.

  • Partner closely with engineering teams to make the secure path the easiest path.

  • Eliminate entire classes of security risk through scalable design, not manual reviews or ticket triage.

  • Set technical direction and empower engineers to build secure systems at massive scale.


The Impact You Will Have

  • Build secure platforms: Integrate security into infrastructure and platform systems from the ground up.

  • Create reusable security frameworks: Develop secure reference architectures and automated guardrails that simplify adoption.

  • Reduce systemic risks: Identify patterns of architectural weaknesses and drive durable, root-cause fixes across product areas.

  • Influence roadmaps: Work with engineering and Red Teams to validate assumptions, improve controls, and strengthen design decisions.

  • Scale security leadership: Grow and mentor senior security engineers, ensuring engagement happens early and proactively.

  • Drive meaningful outcomes: Within 12 months, your team will enable security frameworks to be adopted by default, eliminate recurring vulnerability classes, and permanently reduce at least one major systemic risk.


What We Look For

  • Deep technical background in distributed systems, cloud, or platform security.

  • Proven experience securing large-scale, multi-tenant architectures.

  • Strong grasp of identity, authorization, isolation, and cryptographic trust boundaries.

  • Comfortable influencing principal engineers and product roadmaps.

  • Demonstrated success leading technically senior engineers with high autonomy.

  • A mindset that focuses on failure chains, not just individual vulnerabilities.

  • Passion for building security solutions that are scalable, elegant, and frictionless for developers.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.

New AI Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Reshaping AI Careers

The artificial intelligence job market in the UK is evolving at an extraordinary pace.

For candidates exploring opportunities on ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, understanding who is hiring next is just as important as understanding what skills are in demand. In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.
