For Providers, it means clinical documentation, care management, the revenue cycle and the patient experience. Both run on complex, highly regulated data such as EHR records, claims and clinical notes. You will help them turn that data into AI on Databricks that is accurate, governed and ready for production.

In this customer-facing role, you will work with and support Solution Architects, helping customers design and implement essential workloads and shape their roadmap for expanding use of the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. As a go-to expert reporting to the Specialist Field Engineering Manager, you will keep building your skills through mentorship, learning and internal training. You will also deepen a specialty in generative AI, AI agents, Healthcare or another area.
