At Databricks, we are passionate about enabling data teams to solve the world's toughest problems, from making the next mode of transportation a reality to accelerating the development of medical breakthroughs. We do this by building and running the world's best data and AI infrastructure platform so our customers can use deep data insights to improve their business. Founded by engineers and driven by customer obsession, we leap at every opportunity to tackle technical challenges, from designing next-gen UI/UX for interfacing with data to scaling our services and infrastructure across millions of virtual machines. And we're only getting started.
Customers trust Databricks with their most sensitive data and workloads, and Security Infrastructure Operations (SIO) is the team that sustains and improves Databricks' cloud security posture across every cloud service provider we operate in. We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead this team and drive the strategy for how cloud identity, access, and environment changes are reviewed, executed, and automated at scale. You will own the operational backbone of Databricks' cloud security, spanning IAM policy enforcement, CSP account provisioning, compliance evidence collection, and security data pipelines. Your goal is to ensure that Databricks engineers can move fast without compromising security. This is a high-visibility, cross-functional leadership role that partners with Security, Security Engineering, IT and engineering teams across the company.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The impact you will have:
- Build, lead, and grow a high-performing team of engineers responsible for cloud IAM operations, CSP environment management, security data pipelines, and compliance operations across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
- Define and execute the strategy and roadmap for automating cloud access assignment, approval workflows, and IAM policy enforcement to reduce manual toil while strengthening security controls.
- Own the end-to-end lifecycle of CSP account, subscription, and project provisioning, including secure onboarding of acquired companies' cloud environments into Databricks' organizations with minimal disruption.
- Drive compliance programs including Cloud User Access Reviews, audit evidence collection, and IAM policy alignment to meet SOC2, FedRAMP, and other regulatory requirements.
- Ensure the reliability and timeliness of security data pipelines that ingest CSP audit logging, enabling downstream detection and response capabilities.
- Partner closely with Security, Security Engineering, and IT to interpret and operationalize security policies, ensuring consistent enforcement with high transparency and minimal friction for engineering teams.
- Lead complex, multi-quarter initiatives spanning multiple teams and external partners, demonstrating leverage by executing through technical leads and developing future leaders on the team.
- Lead GovCloud escort operations, including staffing a 24x7 on-call rotation for SEV0 incidents, and continuously improving operational resilience.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 8+ years of experience in security engineering, cloud infrastructure, or production/site reliability engineering, with deep hands-on expertise in at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- 5+ years of engineering management experience, including building teams, developing senior engineers and managers, and navigating complex people situations such as promotions and performance management.
- Strong technical understanding of cloud IAM (policies, principals, roles, federation), CSP organizational structures, and identity governance frameworks.
- Demonstrated success leading operational teams that balance high-throughput request execution with automation and process improvement.
- Experience with compliance and audit workflows (SOC2, FedRAMP, ISO, or similar), including evidence collection and access review programs.
- Track record of driving cross-functional initiatives that require influencing without direct authority across security, infrastructure, and engineering organizations.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate security policy into practical operational processes that engineering teams can follow.
- BS (or higher) in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related technical field.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Production Engineering Manager
Align your credentials to U.S. specialty occupation standards
Your Australian engineering degree needs to map directly to the Production Engineering Manager role's requirements. A three-year bachelor's degree is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree, but confirm your transcript reflects a field-specific qualification, not a general science degree.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Foreign Labor Application Gateway disclosure data for employers who have previously filed Labor Condition Applications for engineering manager roles. Prior LCA activity signals the hiring team already understands the E-3 visa sponsorship process and won't treat it as an unknown risk.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified sponsoring employers
Finding production engineering roles with genuine E-3 sponsorship willingness is faster when you search a platform built for it. Use Migrate Mate to surface employers actively hiring Australian professionals and filter by roles that match your engineering management background.
Clarify your role qualifies before accepting an offer
Not every Production Engineering Manager title qualifies as a specialty occupation. Before signing, confirm the job description explicitly requires a bachelor's degree in a specific engineering discipline. Roles where any degree satisfies the requirement can fail the DOL's specialty occupation test.
Have your employer file the LCA before your start date
The LCA must be certified by the DOL before your consulate appointment can proceed. USCIS requires it as part of the E-3 application packet. Build at least two to three weeks of DOL processing time into your timeline between offer acceptance and your target start date.
Streamline your filing with Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service
Production Engineering Manager applications involve coordinating the LCA, DS-160, and consulate scheduling simultaneously. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to manage the entire process from offer letter to consulate appointment, reducing the chance of documentation errors that delay your visa.
E-3 Visa Production Engineering Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Production Engineering Manager jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles with E-3 sponsorship. You can filter by job title and see employers with a history of sponsoring Australian candidates. Generic job boards rarely surface E-3-specific sponsorship information, which makes a targeted search tool essential for this visa category.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Production Engineering Manager role qualify as an E-3 specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the role requires a bachelor's degree in a specific engineering discipline such as industrial, mechanical, manufacturing, or process engineering. The qualification requirement must be a genuine minimum, not a preference. If the job description accepts any degree field or substitutes experience freely for education, the specialty occupation standard may not be met, and the E-3 application could be denied.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Production Engineering Manager roles?
The E-3 is significantly more predictable for Australian professionals. There is no lottery, no annual cap to worry about, and the application goes directly to a U.S. consulate in Australia rather than through a USCIS petition queue. H-1B visa selection is random and capped at 85,000 per fiscal year. For a qualified Production Engineering Manager with an Australian employer willing to file an LCA, the E-3 is the faster and more reliable path.
Can I change employers while on an E-3 as a Production Engineering Manager?
You can change employers, but the E-3 does not transfer automatically. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL, and you will typically need to attend a new consulate appointment in Australia to obtain a visa stamp reflecting the new employer. You cannot simply present your existing E-3 stamp to start work for a different company, so factor consulate wait times into your transition planning.
