Engineering Manager, Serverless Compute Platform
Databricks, Bellevue, Washington
What you will do
- Own a 0→1 service with platform-wide blast radius. Architect and launch the Execution Sandbox Service from inception to production scale. This greenfield provisioning layer will power all non-Spark compute workloads on Serverless (Notebooks, AI Agents, Remote UDFs).
- Unify a fragmented compute surface. Converge disparate CPU and GPU cluster management paths into a single provisioning service, eliminating parity bugs and enabling consistent product experiences.
- Collaborate across 5+ partner organizations. Drive alignment on API contracts and shared milestones across Serverless Platform, AI Runtime, Lakeguard, and product teams.
- Shape product strategy through deep technical understanding. Partner with Product Management to leverage this new sandbox primitive for future offerings like serverless command execution APIs and FaaS-style workloads.
What you need
- 5+ years managing engineers building and operating distributed systems in production, ideally control-plane or orchestration services
