From personalised shopping experiences to sustainable supply chains, data is the engine driving the Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industries forward. At Databricks, we are looking for a strategic technical leader to help the world's biggest brands turn their data into intelligence.

As a Lead/Senior Solutions Architect, you won’t just be building architectures; you will be building relationships, strategies, and the future of our team. You will act as a bridge between business goals and technical reality, ensuring our customers succeed and our internal teams thrive.

• Strategic Influence: You will move beyond purely technical tasks to shape long‑term data strategies for complex, enterprise‑scale organisations.
• Mentorship & Leadership: As a senior member of the team, you will have a direct hand in coaching junior architects, fostering a culture of learning and "technical championship."
• Defined Career Paths: We don’t guess about your growth. You can choose to develop in four clear tracks: Technical Specialisation, Industry Thought Leadership, Strategic Customer Vision, or People Management.

Our Philosophy: We value curiosity over perfection. If you have experience in data and a passion for the Retail/CPG space, but don't meet every single technical requirement, we encourage you to apply. We are interested in your potential and your ability to solve complex problems.

• Trusted Advisory: You will build authentic partnerships with stakeholders—from developers to C‑suite executives—helping them understand the vision of the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.
• Strategic Planning: Partner closely with Account Executives to design engagement strategies that address the specific, high‑stakes needs of large Retail/CPG customers.
• Team Coaching: Act as a mentor for the wider team, guiding them on how to prioritise use cases and build technical credibility with clients.
• Ecosystem Integration: Solution complex engagements involving the broader cloud ecosystem (AWS, Azure, GCP) and third‑party tools to ensure a seamless experience for the customer.
• Thought Leadership: Elevate your profile by leading workshops, creating customer‑facing content, and speaking at industry meet‑ups.

We are looking for a blend of technical expertise, industry insight, and emotional intelligence.

Industry & Strategic Experience:

• Retail/CPG Knowledge: Experience working within the Retail or CPG sectors, understanding the nuances of consumer data, supply chains, or merchandising.
• Enterprise Engagement: Experience navigating complex, strategic accounts. You know how to manage multiple stakeholders and long‑term sales lifecycles (Global account experience is a plus, but deep experience with complex large‑scale accounts is the priority).

Technical Expertise:

• Architecture & Cloud: Hands‑on experience designing proofs‑of‑concept for Big Data solutions on public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Coding Foundations: Proficiency in a core programming language (e.g., Python, Java, or Scala) and a willingness to learn Apache Spark.
• Problem Solving: The ability to design creative technical solutions for specialised customer needs.

Communication & Travel:

• Collaboration: You can orchestrate diverse teams to achieve a common goal and explain complex tech to non‑technical leaders.
• Travel: This role requires travel to customer sites in the UK and London offices (approx. 20‑30%). We support flexible scheduling to help manage this travel alongside your personal life.

Nice to Have:

• Databricks Certification.
