• Partner closely with design and product to translate complex analytical concepts into polished, intuitive, and efficient dashboard experiences.
• Drive innovation in how Databricks users interact with data, enabling seamless and responsive exploration at scale.
• Own frontend development for core dashboard workflows, with a focus on usability, performance, accessibility, and reliability.
• Help shape the architecture, abstractions, and platform foundations that support a broad range of dashboarding and analytical use cases.
• Collaborate with backend engineers and adjacent teams to define APIs, data models, and contracts that power interactive and scalable dashboard experiences.

What We Look For

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong experience building both frontend and backend systems.

• Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally and deliver impactful user-facing features.
• Experience building dashboards, analytics, data exploration, authoring tools, or business intelligence products is a plus.
