Director of Engineering (Data Infrastructure)

<p>(P-1490)</p> <p>Databricks processes petabytes of data and billions of transaction events daily - every cluster launch, every query executed, every dollar billed flows through infrastructure that must never fail. When we process billions in billing transactions with 99.999% accuracy requirements, when we ingest terabytes per second across 100+ regions, when a five-minute outage costs millions in revenue and customer trust - infrastructure isn't just important, it's existential. The next phase of our growth demands disaster recovery systems that prove reliability rather than hope for it, testing frameworks that catch production-scale problems before deployment, correctness guarantees that make billing errors structurally impossible, and automation that scales operations sublinearly with growth.</p> <p>In this leadership opportunity, <strong>you will build the data infrastructure organization</strong> that makes Databricks' continued growth possible. You'll establish foundational teams in Bengaluru owning the bedrock systems that guarantee billing correctness, operational resilience, and zero-downtime recovery across our entire monetization stack, alongside multi-region data ingestion, developer platforms, and deployment automation that eliminate friction at petabyte scale. This isn't about maintaining what exists; it's about architecting the infrastructure that enables Databricks to scale while reducing operational burden. You'll define what world-class infrastructure looks like for the next decade of data platforms.</p> <p>You will pursue these challenges as a <strong>founding technical leader in our fastest-growing engineering hub</strong> and strategic partner to global infrastructure leaders. In addition to building world-class teams, you will shape architectural decisions that ripple across the company and champion infrastructure-as-product thinking that transforms infrastructure into force multipliers globally. You'll work in an engineering culture born from
