Our mission at Databricks is to radically simplify the whole data lifecycle from ingestion to ETL, BI, and all the way up to ML / AI with a unified platform. To achieve this goal, we believe the data warehouse architecture as we know it today will be replaced by a new architectural pattern, Lakehouse, open platforms that unify data warehousing and advanced analytics.

The information below covers the role requirements, expected candidate experience, and accompanying qualifications.

A critical part of realizing this vision is the next generation (decoupled) query engine and structured storage system that can outperform specialized data warehouses in relational query performance, yet retain the expressiveness of general purpose systems such as Spark to support diverse workloads ranging from ETL to data science.

  • Query compilation and optimization
  • Distributed query execution and scheduling
  • Data security
  • Resource management
  • Transaction coordination
  • Automatic physical data optimization

What we look for :

  • Experience working towards a multi-year vision with incremental deliverables
  • Motivated by delivering customer value and impact
  • 5 years of experience working in a related system (preferred)
  • Benefits :

  • Comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, and vision
  • 401(k) Plan
  • Equity awards
  • Flexible time off
  • Paid parental leave
  • Family Planning
  • Gym reimbursement
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Mental wellness resources
  • Pay Range Transparency :

    Local Pay Range : $166,000 — $225,000 USD
