As a Delivery Solutions Architect (DSA), you are a trusted technical advisor to key customers, providing expert guidance that translates data, analytics and AI challenges into high-impact business value. You help design, implement, and scale data and AI solutions, focusing on architecture, operational excellence, and customer enablement. Internally, you will collaborate with our sales and field engineering teams to accelerate the adoption and growth of the Databricks Platform in your customers.</p>

<p>Delivery Solutions Architects (DSAs) are trusted technical advisors embedded within the customer organization, providing expert guidance that translates data and AI challenges into high-impact business value.

</ul>

<p>This is a hybrid technical and commercial role.

This requires you to use your technical skills and credibility to engage and communicate with technical/technical leadership stakeholders in our customer organizations, do architecture reviews, help with performance and cost optimizations, demonstrate new capabilities, remove blockers, etc. In parallel, 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, orchestrating other focused/specialized teams within Databricks, and creating and driving onboarding plans. </p>

<p>While not a hands-on-keyboard role, this is a highly technical position where architectural skills in fields such as Data Architecture, Data Engineering, Data Warehousing or Data Science are essential.</p>

<li>Leverage both Shared Services, User Education, Onboarding/Technical Services and Support resources, along with escalating to expert-level technical teams to address the tasks that are beyond your scope of activities or expertise</li>

<li>Create  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</li>
