We are looking for a talented engineer/architect who is excited to expand strategic partnerships and grow Databricks footprint with these customers!
You are a builder who can code, architect, and present, combining technical depth with customer-facing skills to drive Databricks adoption. You will own frontline customer relationships and work with your Account Executive to develop technical strategies that expand platform usage.

- Own frontline technical relationships with customer engineers, data teams, and technical leads
- Develop account-level technical strategies in partnership with your Account Executive to grow platform consumption
- Navigate competitive landscapes by articulating Databricks differentiation through hands-on demonstrations
- Contribute reusable technical assets (notebooks, solution accelerators, reference architectures) to the broader SA community
What We Look For
- Industry experience in data engineering, solutions architecture, technical pre-sales, or a hands-on consulting role (preference for 3+ years minimum)
- Proficient in Python and SQL with demonstrated ability to debug, optimise, and write production-quality code — live/vibe coding is a required interview stage
- Hands-on experience designing and implementing data solutions on at least one public cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Working knowledge of distributed data systems: Apache Spark™, Delta Lake, or equivalent (Hadoop, Kafka, Flink)
- Experience leading technical customer conversations — discovery, whiteboarding, architecture reviews
- Familiarity with one or more: data engineering (ETL/ELT, medallion architecture, streaming), data science/ML (model training, MLOps), or SQL analytics
- Strong presentation and demo skills — you will build and present a live solution during the interview
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Management, Data Science or a quantitative discipline (or equivalent experience)
