Delivery Solutions Architect

CSQ125R46

At Databricks we are on a mission to empower our customers to solve the world’s toughest data problems by utilising the Intelligence platform. 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. As a DSA, you will 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 invesment.

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. This requires you to use your skills and technical credibility to engage and communicate at all levels with an organisation. You will report directly to a DSA manager as part of the Field Engineering organisation in Central EMEA.

Note : we are open to accept applications from across the country (i.e. outside of Munich)#LI-Hybrid.

The impact you will have:

• Assist strategic customers in deploying or migrating their use cases and workloads into production on Databricks Lakehouse, leading the post-win technical account strategy/execution plan
• Be the accountable technical leader assigned to specific Use Cases and customer(s) across multiple selling teams and internal stakeholders, creating certainty from uncertainty and driving onboarding, enablement, success, go-live and healthy consumption of the workloads where the customer has made the decision to use Databricks

• Provide regular internal and external updates on progress and risks/blockers to your leadership
• Contribute to the development of the DSA community and practice by sharing best practices and assets.
