- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related technical field
- 4+ years of hands-on experience in software development or security engineering, with a strong focus on building secure systems or security automation
- Proficiency in Python, Scala, or similar scripting/programming languages, with a track record of writing production-level code
- Demonstrated hands-on experience with Databricks platform security, including programmatic interaction with Unity Catalog, cluster configuration APIs, and Databricks Secrets
- Strong expertise in AWS security services (IAM, KMS, S3, VPC) and their programmatic control
- Experience with CI/CD pipeline security tools (SAST, SCA, IaC scanning) and understanding how to remediate findings
- Understanding of data access governance (including ACLs) and programmatic management of entitlements
- Familiarity with SIEM platforms (e.g., Splunk) for log integration and developing detection rules
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to translate security requirements into robust, automated solutions
- Relevant industry certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Developer, AWS Certified Security - Specialty, Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate/Professional)
What the job involves
- The Data Security Developer will be a highly technical, hands-on individual responsible for building, implementing, and automating security controls directly within Live Nation Entertainment's data platforms and pipelines
- This role focuses on writing code, scripts, and configurations to enforce security policies, integrating security into existing data workflows, and developing tools that enhance our data security posture, with a strong emphasis on Databricks and AWS services
- Security Control Implementation (Code-First): Develop, implement, and maintain security controls for data access (ACLs, entitlements), encryption, data masking, and network segmentation within Databricks, SQL Server, AWS S3, and data ingestion services. This includes coding solutions for data segmentation and access restrictions
- Databricks Security Engineering: Configure and optimize Databricks security features programmatically, including Unity Catalog permissions, secure cluster policies, and secrets management (Databricks Secrets)
- Secure Code and Static Analysis: Integrate and manage static code analysis (SAST) and software composition analysis (SCA) tools within CI/CD pipelines for Databricks notebooks and data-related code. Understand and actively address/correct the output of these tools
- Programmatic IAM and Non-Human Access: Develop and maintain scripts/code to manage programmatic IAM (service and non-human accounts) access to data systems (e.g., ETLs). This includes token management, access provisioning, and automated auditing of non-human accounts
- Automated Data Labeling/Classification Tooling: Potentially develop or integrate automated tools for data labeling and classification specific to the data team, guiding what types of labels and classifications should be required
- Alerting and Detection Engineering: Develop and implement data-specific alerting and detection mechanisms (e.g., Splunk queries, custom scripts) to provide insight into data security events and integrate with central InfoSec platforms like PagerDuty for relevant alerts
- Post-Incident Forensics (Data and Event Evidence Collection): Drive the collection and initial review of data and event evidence during data security incidents, within the CDS org
- Remediation Implementation: Serve as a "test-engineer/developer" to implement technical changes and remediate security findings identified through architecture reviews, audits, or incidents
- VPC and Tooling Support: Address infrastructure needs related to data security, such as VPC configurations, PrivateLink setup, and support operations for data security tooling
- Collaboration and Guidance: Partner closely with data engineering, DevOps, and TechOps teams to embed security into workflows and provide technical guidance on secure coding practices
Our take
Live Nation is the world's leading live entertainment company, sitting at the top of the market in live events and ticketing. Formed in 2009, it is a major international company, with key business segments made up of concerts, ticketing, and sponsorship and advertising.
Despite its dominant position in the market, the company saw an 84% drop in revenue during 2020 and the closure of live events. Since then, however, demand has been stronger than ever for their ticket sales. This is a reflection that live events remain a clear priority for consumers and has been further reflected in Live Nation's acquisitions of companies - like Goodlive - that complement and bolster Live Nation's portfolio.
In addition to live events, a key area to watch for Live Nation will be the rise of online concert streaming, like that undertaken by competitors such as Driift. Major festivals such as Glastonbury have trialled online concerts with mixed reviews. If it proves successful, this could be a major new section of the entertainment market and a big potential part of Live Nation's future ventures.
