Our engineering teams build technical products that fulfill real, important needs in the world. We always push the boundaries of data and AI technology, while simultaneously operating with the security and scale that is important to making customers successful on our platform.


We develop and operate one of the largest-scale software platforms. The fleet consists of millions of virtual machines, generating terabytes of logs and processing exabytes of data per day.

  • You will manage infrastructure across nearly a hundred cloud regions, enabling all Databricks engineers and customers to monitor the reliability of our product.

  • You will develop advanced workflows that accelerate incident diagnosis for Bricksters, allowing engineers to quickly derive insights from logs and metrics. You will leverage powerful capabilities of Databricks’ own data intelligence platform to push the boundaries of troubleshooting practices in the industry.

  • You will uplevel monitoring and reliability practices across Databricks engineering, developing opinionated tools that set common standards for managing structured logs, metrics, alerts, dashboards, and oncall rotations.

  • Mentor and uplevel engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence within the team and broader observability community.


What we look for:





    • BS (or higher) in Computer Science, or a related field.

    • 15+ years of production-level experience in one of: Go, Python, Java, Scala, Rust, C++, or similar languages.

    • Experience in software development, in large-scale distributed systems.

    • Experience driving large projects involving multiple teams

    • Experience with cloud technologies, e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, or Kubernetes.
