At Databricks, we are passionate about helping data teams 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 customer obsessed, Databricks has started a multi-year journey to build the best Lakehouse Platform. For this we are building on top of a great foundation but our goal is to go further to build dramatically better products.

  • Hire great engineers to build an outstanding team.
  • Support engineers in their career development by providing clear feedback and develop engineering leaders.
  • Ensure high technical standards by instituting processes (architecture reviews, testing) and culture (engineering excellence).
  • Work with engineering and product leadership to build a long-term roadmap and vision
  • Coordinate execution and collaborate across teams to unblock cross-cutting projects.
  • Participate in developing the Berlin site

What we look for:

  • Experience with distributed data systems and the processes around testing, monitoring, and benchmarking
  • Partner with PM, Sales, and Customers to develop new features.
  • BS (or higher) in Computer Science, or a related field.
  • 5 years of Engineering experience and 2 years of Engineering Management experience.
