Job description

P-138

At Databricks, we are passionate about enabling data teams to 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 — 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.

As an Engineering Manager, you will work with your team to build infrastructure and products for the Databricks platform at scale. We have multiple teams working on different domains.

  • Resource management infrastructure powering the big data and machine learning workloads on the Databricks platform in a scalable, secure, and cloud-agnostic way
  • Develop reliable, scalable services and client libraries that work with massive amounts of data on the cloud, across geographic regions and Cloud providers
  • Build tools to allow Databricks engineers to operate their services across different clouds and environments
  • Build services, products and infrastructure at the intersection of machine learning and distributed systems.

The impact you will have:

  • 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.
  • Coordinate execution and collaborate across teams to unblock cross-cutting projects.

What we look for:

  • Experience with large-scale distributed web services and the processes around testing, monitoring, and SLAs.
  • Partner with PM, Sales, and Customers to develop innovative features.
  • BS (or higher) in Computer Science, or a related field.
  • 5 years of Engineering experience and 2 years of Engineering Management experience.
