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, we leap at every opportunity to solve technical challenges, from designing next-gen UI/UX for working with data to scaling our services and infrastructure across millions of virtual machines. And we're only getting started.

As a Sr. Engineering Manager on the Service Platform team, you will build infra components and systems that allow product facing engineering teams to build large-scale, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems.

  • You will work with engineering and product leadership to build a long-term roadmap
  • You will coordinate execution and collaborate across teams to unblock cross-cutting projects

What we look for:

  • 5+ years experience working on large- scale distributed systems, frameworks, or platform infrastructure
  • Experience leading multi-project teams, mentoring staff-level software engineers and managers, and building new teams from the ground up to deliver value to Databricks customers
  • Can ensure the team builds high quality and reliable infrastructure services; experience being responsible for testing, quality, and service level agreements of a product; previous experience building teams in a complex technical domain, such as on distributed data systems or database internals
  • Experience attracting, hiring, and coaching engineers who meet the Databricks hiring standards; can up level existing team by hiring top-notch senior talent, growing leaders and helping struggling members; can gain the trust of the team and guide their careers
  • Experience building and running cloud platforms or learning new concepts in the SaaS space (e.g. technical background)
