<p>P-1701</p>
<p>At Databricks, we are passionate about enabling data teams to solve the world's toughest problems: from making the next mode of transportation a reality to accelerating the development of medical breakthroughs. We do this by building and running the world's best Data + AI platform so our customers can use deep data insights to improve their business. Founded by engineers, we’re customer obsessed, leaping at every opportunity to solve technical challenges, from designing next-gen UI/UX for interfacing with data to scaling our services and infrastructure across millions of virtual machines. And we're only getting started.<br><br>As an Engineering Manager on CustomerLake, you will lead the team building Profile Agents, shaping the product, architecture, and engineering foundation behind Databricks’ Customer 360 platform.<br><br>CustomerLake is Databricks' new Agentic CDP, launched at Data + AI Summit 2026. This is our first move into agentic business applications, offering the data foundation of Marketing built natively into the Databricks Lakehouse. Early traction for this new product has been outstanding.<br><br>Profile Agents are a key foundation of this product. Building a trustworthy Customer360 has traditionally meant multi-year integration projects and seven or eight figures in professional services just to get a usable golden record. Profile Agents generate the pipelines, matching logic, and identity resolution needed to produce a Customer 360.<br>The product is early and still being defined, so you'll have real say over the product vision, architecture and how the team operates and scales.<br><br><strong>The impact you will have</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Own delivery for Profile Agents, from identity resolution and agentic pipeline generation through to production-quality Customer 360 outputs</li>
<li>Hire and grow a small, senior team, and build the foundation it scales from as the product moves out of private preview</li>
<li>Help set technical direction with product and the VP of Engineering, since much of what "good" looks like here is still undefined</li>
<li>Build the quality bar for agent-generated pipelines: where agents act autonomously, where they need human review, and how we validate correctness against customer data</li>
<li>Work directly with customers and design partners to help turn their Customer360 problems into engineering priorities</li>
<li>You will have lots of room for growth by joining one of the fastest growing teams in one of the fastest growing Data + AI companies in the world</li>
</ul>
<p><br><strong>What we look for</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>3+ years of engineering management experience leading high-performing engineering teams</li>
<li>8+ years of experience building and operating production data or distributed systems, with the hands-on depth to set a technical bar for the team</li>
<li>Experience building or leading teams that ship data engineering products such as ETL, MDM, or data quality tooling, and an understanding of why Customer 360 projects are typically so expensive and slow</li>
<li>Hands-on experience applying agents or LLMs to data engineering problems like matching, entity resolution, or pipeline generation, with a clear view on where agent autonomy helps versus where humans need to stay in the loop</li>
<li>Genuine passion and prior experience taking a product from 0 to 1: comfortable defining process and architecture with no existing playbook</li>
<li>Ideally, some understanding of how customer data is used downstream in marketing, sales, and service</li>
<li>A track record scaling complex data services to thousands of enterprise customers, including the reliability and governance maturity that requires</li>
<li>Experience managing multiple teams or other managers is a strong plus</li>
<li>BS or higher in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience</li>

Systemic Collaboration
As Databricks continues our rapid growth, we strive to maintain a culture as open and transparent as it was in Databricks’s early days. Making sure employees have regular access to our CEO and co-founders to hear directly about our vision and priorities helps our employees forge a connection between Databricks priorities and their daily work.
Positive Vision for the Future
Databricks’ culture principles are derived from an internal study of the behaviors that have led to high impact work at Databricks. These values have a direct impact on company culture and play a large part in connecting teams across the organization. We believe in being customer-obsessed, truth-seeking, operating from first principles, having a bias for action, and putting Databricks first. Our co-founders are fully involved in day-to-day operations, including business and technical reviews, working alongside our team members to ensure that we are always aligned with our values.
Alignment of Values
Databricks’ CEO and Co-founder, Ali Ghodsi leads by example with a focus on truth-seeking and first principles thinking, two of Databricks’ core values that stay true to Databricks’s origins in academia. He champions the importance of data and reason to question biases and inform decisions. Ali remains hands-on with research and development and hosts company-wide weekly all hands, with a CEO “ask me anytime” session at the beginning of every agenda. His transparency and accessibility are core to the open and collaborative culture of Databricks.
Respect
At Databricks, we cultivate an environment where all employees can bring their unique selves and are empowered to do the best work of their careers. To ensure all voices are heard and ideas are valued, we conduct annual culture and pulse surveys and host all-hands Q&As to collect feedback from all employees. We then report back to Databricks on the specific changes implemented from the feedback collected to ensure employees feel heard and that their feedback is valued. In addition, we invest in our seven Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that offer support and employee engagement events for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds and allies.
Killer Outcomes
Databricks prioritizes offering an exceptional employee experience by investing in tools, workspaces, and community-building. Our collaboration-first, hybrid model offers flexibility with in-person touchpoints like our annual employee kickoff, weekly CEO all-hands with happy hours, and monthly team building budgets. We are especially focused on maintaining a culture of transparency, honesty, and trust, with leaders actively engaging across channels like Slack and all hands while also championing inclusion efforts through ERG sponsorship. These initiatives help our team feel connected, valued, and empowered to do their best work.
