Founded by engineers — and customer obsessed — we leap at every opportunity to solve 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.

About the team:

In this role, you spearhead our strategy, lead high-stakes projects with a long-term vision of our platform’s architecture and drive large-scale, high-impact initiatives that in turn power Databricks' ability to run some of the most critical data and AI solutions of the world. You will be a force multiplier, working with senior IC leadership across the company to help shape the future of Databricks. You will balance technical depth with strategic influence, and mentor the next generation of engineers. This is a unique opportunity to create lasting impact both within the engineering team and across the company.

The impact you will have:

  • Develop scalable experimentation platforms and metrics-driven processes to launch incremental feature changes, ensuring safe, data-informed deployments.
  • Build reliable software and service frameworks for high-coverage pre-production testing, and create systems that enhance automation, monitoring, and cloud cost visibility.
  • Design and optimize tools for seamless cloud infrastructure provisioning, enabling engineers to manage services effectively across all environments with minimal friction.
  • Implement secure, end-to-end logging, and comprehensive metrics systems that allow easy and thorough monitoring and analysis across our large-scale infrastructure.
  • Amplify the productivity of every Databricks engineer by tenfold through best in class developer infrastructure.
  • Lead cross-functional projects, influence architectural decisions, and provide mentorship to engineering teams to drive innovation and uphold high standards for operational excellence.

What We Look For:

  • Strong industry experience and track record of developing, building and supporting large-scale infrastructure.
  • Ability to think long-term while delivering incremental, measurable impact. You can balance big-picture strategic thinking with a passion for executing on high-priority initiatives.
  • Coding chops, clean, elegant, bug-free code in languages like Java, GO
  • Must have led teams of engineers to deliver autonomously on large multi-functionally driven projects.
  • Proven track record of driving innovation within highly technical teams. You’ve led complex projects to fruition and are motivated by solving high-impact problems with elegant, scalable solutions.
  • Experienced at Cross Team Communication: Strong flair for effective communication and collaboration - you know when to push on and when to step back.
  • Push the bar on engineering standard processes and help leaders build a strong engineering culture.
  • Passionate about helping teams grow by inspiring and mentoring engineers.
  • Expertise in one or more areas around rpc frameworks, observability infrastructure, developer infrastructure, AI based tooling and performance engineering is huge plus.
