At Databricks, we are passionate about enabling data teams to solve the world's toughest problems — from making the next mode of transportation a reality to accelerating the development of medical breakthroughs. We do this by building and running the world's best data and AI infrastructure platform so our customers can use deep data insights to improve their business. Founded by engineers — and customer obsessed — we leap at every opportunity to solve technical challenges, from designing next-gen UI/UX for interfacing with data to scaling our services and infrastructure across millions of virtual machines. And we're only getting started.

As a full stack software engineer, you will work closely with your team and product management to bring that delight through great user experience.

Below are some example teams you can join:

Our team builds the "console" for SQL Analytics, where users configure, manage and monitor their SQL usage.
• Jobs and Workflows: This team powers all asynchronous customer workloads for Databricks which is the majority of Databricks usage. As this usage has rapidly increased - we've rearchitected the system for increased stability and scalability. We are also building exciting new features for more advanced workflows and customer observability. This team has a mix of frontend, backend, and reliability engineering skills & projects.
• Developer Ecosystem: The developer ecosystem team focuses on the development experience and best practices using toolsoutside of the workspace. We own and govern the core developer ecosystem open-source components: the SDK, the CLI, and Terraform.

What we look for:

• BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, or a related field
• 7+ years of experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Passion for user experience and design and a deep understanding of front-end architecture
• Comfortable working towards a multi-year vision with incremental deliverables
• Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, VueJs/Ember)
• Strong familiarity with server-side web technologies (eg: Nodejs, Java, Python, Scala, C#, C++,Go, JVM)
