As a Delivery Solutions Architect (DSA), you will play an important role during this journey. You will collaborate with our sales and field engineering teams to accelerate the adoption and growth of the Databricks platform in your customers. You will also help ensure customer success by increasing focus and technical accountability to our most complex customers who need guidance to accelerate usage on Databricks workloads that they have already selected, helping them maximise the value they get of our platform and the return on investment.


This is a hybrid technical and commercial role. It is commercial in the sense that you will drive growth in your assigned customers and use cases through leading your customers' stakeholders, building executive relationships, orchestration of other focused/specialized teams within Databricks, and creating and driving plans and strategies for Databricks colleagues to build upon. This is in parallel to being technical, with expectations being that you become the post-sale technical lead across all Databricks products.

  • Leverage both Shared Services, User Education, Onboarding/Technical Services and Support resources, along with escalating to expert level technical experts to build the right tasks that are beyond your scope of activities or expertise

  • Create, own and execute a point-of-view as to how key use cases can be accelerated into production, coordinating with Professional Services (PS) resources on the delivery of PS Engagement proposals

  • Navigate Databricks Product and Engineering teams for new product Innovations, private previews and upgrade needs

  • Develop an execution plan that covers all activities of all customer-facing technical roles and teams to cover the below work streams:


    • Main use cases moving from ‘win’ to production

    • Enablement / user growth plan

    • Product adoption (strategy and activities to increase adoption of Databricks’ Lakehouse vision)

    • Organic needs for current investment (e.g. cloud cost control, tuning & optimization)

    • Executive and operational governance


  • Provide internal and external updates - KPI reporting on the status of usage and customer health, covering investment status, important risks, product adoption and use case progression - to your Technical GM


What we look for:



  • 7+ years of experience where you have been accountable for technical project / program delivery within the domain of Data and AI and where you can contribute to technical debate and design choices with customers

  • Programming experience in Python, SQL or Scala 

  • Experience in a customer-facing pre-sales, technical architecture, customer success, or consulting role
