Staff Product Security Engineer

DataRobot is seeking an experienced Staff Product Security Engineer to drive security innovation while ensuring our platform meets the rigorous demands of our Federal and Commercial customers. This is a highly technical, high-impact role where you will operate at the intersection of engineering, automation, and federal compliance (FedRAMP High / DoD IL5).

Key Responsibilities

• Federal Compliance & Strategy Lead:

  • Write and maintain security policies (SSPs) and procedures. Develop, track, and remediate Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) and provide technical evidence during third-party audits.

• Security Engineering & Automation:

  • Automate Everything: Develop custom automation to manage security tooling and implement "Secure-by-Design" processes in the CI/CD pipeline using Python or Go.

  • Container Security: Identify, design, and implement controls to safeguard our containerized production environments.

  • Tooling Management: Deploy and manage security testing tools for SAST, DAST, and SCA analysis (e.g., Semgrep, Trivy, Burp Suite).

  • Threat Modeling: Review technical designs for new features, performing threat models to prioritize risks and educate developer teams on secure coding practices.

• Customer Trust & Vulnerability Management:

  • Act as the external face of DataRobot Security. Work directly with customers' security teams to resolve concerns regarding CVE exposure and architecture.

  • Customer-Centric Communication: Balance business needs with security rigor. You must be able to stand firm on security policies while maintaining strong professional relationships through clear, diplomatic, and solutions-oriented communication.
