You combine deep technical expertise with strategic thinking to position Databricks as the foundation of your customers’ data and AI strategy. You are developing a technical specialization (archetype) and are recognized within your team for depth in a specific domain.

- Serve as a trusted technical advisor to customer architects, engineering leads, and Directors
- Drive technical wins in competitive scenarios by demonstrating Databricks’ differentiation through custom-built solutions
- Develop and declare an emerging technical specialization (archetype) — becoming a go-to resource for your team in that domain

- Influence product direction by providing structured feedback on customer requirements and competitive gaps

- Deep expertise in distributed data systems architecture: designing scalable pipelines, streaming architectures, lakehouse patterns, and cloud-native data platforms
- Proficient on the Databricks Platform (or demonstrated ability to achieve proficiency rapidly) with a developing technical specialization in one area (e.g., real-time/streaming, ML/AI, data governance, migrations)
- Proven ability to lead architecture discussions with senior technical stakeholders — whiteboarding, design reviews, and trade-off analysis
- Experience with production deployments on public cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including infrastructure, security, and governance considerations
- Track record of driving platform adoption and consumption growth within accounts
- Excellent communication skills — able to translate complex architectures into business value for both technical and executive audiences
- Fluency in French and English
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a quantitative discipline (or equivalent experience)
Nice to Have:
