Senior Technical Lead for AI Database Security

Description

About the Team

Security is fundamental to data management in enterprises. AsOracle AI Database brings AI to the data AI agents gain broader autonomy and connectivity risks from prompt/data injection excessive agency with overprivileged access increase significantly. The Oracle Database Security group is building the next generation data security platform in the Oracle AI Database. It delivers SQL-based fine-grained access control at the row column and cell levels enforced based on end-user identity and authorization. It secures AI-based agentic applications analytics tools and enterprise workloads.

What Youll Do

• Lead design and development of the new data security platform integrate the platform with identity management and database application frameworks
• Own endtoend architecture spanning the database kernel through middleware and identity services;
• Partner across Oracles RDBMS Applications Analytics and SaaS teams to deliver integrated solutions
• Establish and enforce security design guidelines for database and application teams; lead design/architecture reviews and threat modeling for AI/agentic scenarios.
• Champion a culture of innovation rigorous testing and continuous improvement.

Requirements

Database system and security

• 10+ years building largescale system software (databases OS distributed systems application servers or cloud services).
• Deep expertise in secure system design for performance scalability high availability and operational manageability.
• Strong command of security fundamentals: authentication/authorization applied cryptography network and transport security protocols and enterprise security practices.
• Systemlevel design and programming on UNIX/Linux: memory management concurrency control caching networking/RPC and distributed systems.
• Solid understanding of major RDBMS internals and security features; fluent in SQL and database access patterns.
• Strong C/C++; or Java systems programming; familiarity with PL/SQL JSON
• Excellent problem solving design communication and crossfunctional collaboration skills.
• Masters degree in computer science/engineering or equivalent experience preferred.

GenAI and Agentic Security

• Practical understanding of LLMs and GenAI system architectures: prompt processing context windows embeddings/vector stores RAG tool use/function calling and orchestration.
• Experience securing agentic applications: leastprivilege policy design for agents/tools data segmentation and masking for prompts and retrieval promptinjection and dataexfiltration defenses provenance/lineage ratelimiting and abuse detection and redteam/testing methodologies.
• Familiarity with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and similar agent/tool interoperability standards; ability to design secure policy and identity boundaries for multitool multiservice agent ecosystems.
• Knowledge of AI safety and compliance controls: PII/PHI protection privacypreserving retrieval consent and purpose limitation auditability and data residency.
• Understanding of secure integration patterns between agents identity platforms and data planes (e.g. token exchange scoped credentials justintime access policy decision points/enforcement points).
• Awareness of emerging frameworks/standards for agent orchestration and secure plugin/tool ecosystems. If leveraging external tools or frameworks ensure alignment with Oracle security privacy and compliance guidelines.

Preferred Background

• Delivered enterprise security platforms or database security features from concept through GA and sustained operations.
• Experience with cloud security services on OCI or other public clouds; building highthroughput lowlatency services with strong isolation guarantees.
• Familiarity with application frameworks for Java Python security integration points and middleware security: 3tier architectures identity and access management and policy management systems.
• Success leading crossorg initiatives influencing design through clear threat models and driving measurable security outcomes.
