Delivery Solutions Architect - Startups & Emerging Enterprise

At Databricks, we are on a mission to empower our customers to solve the world's toughest data problems by utilizing the Databricks Data 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 with Startup and Emerging Enterprise customers.

It is commercial in the sense that you will drive growth in your assigned customers and use cases by leading your customers' stakeholders, building executive relationships, orchestrating other focused/specialized teams within Databricks, and creating and driving plans and strategies for Databricks colleagues to build upon.
