Solutions Architect – Data & AI (Presales)
At Databricks, our Solutions Architects combine customer engagement with hands-on technical expertise.
You will work closely with customers to understand their challenges and demonstrate how the Databricks platform can solve them – not just conceptually, but in practice.
This role sits within our sales organization and is ideal for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of business, data, and AI — and who is motivated by turning ideas into working solutions.
What you’ll do
- Partner with Account Executives to drive technical sales cycles and customer outcomes
- Lead customer workshops, discovery sessions, and technical deep-dives across multiple stakeholders
- Build and deliver proof-of-concepts, demos, and solution prototypes using real data
- Translate business requirements into practical, scalable data and AI solutions
- Act as a trusted advisor, while also being able to go hands-on to validate solutions end-to-end
- Work through technical challenges with customers, iterating and resolving issues as they arise
- Contribute reusable assets, patterns, and best practices that accelerate adoption across customers
What we’re looking for
Customer-facing mindset
- Experience working with customers in a presales, consulting, or advisory capacity
- Ability to communicate complex topics to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Comfortable leading discussions that connect business goals to technical decisions
Hands-on technical foundation
- Experience with Python (or similar) and familiarity with distributed data processing and compute and working with large-scale datasets
- Understanding of data pipelines and modern data architectures
- Ability to work practically with data (e.g. building PoCs, exploring datasets, troubleshooting)
- Comfortable reasoning through code, explaining how it works, and adapting it when things don’t behave as expected
Data & AI understanding
- Familiarity with analytics, data science, or machine learning workflows
- Understanding of how data platforms support AI use cases (e.g. feature pipelines, model training, inference)
- Interest in modern AI capabilities, combined with an understanding of how they operate on real data systems
Architecture & platform understanding
- Familiarity with cloud platforms and data technologies
- Ability to design solutions that consider scalability, performance, reliability, and data volumes
- Awareness of trade-offs in architecture decisions and ability to adapt designs based on constraints
What makes you successful in this role
- You are comfortable switching between business dialogue and technical execution
- You don’t just describe solutions — you can build, validate, and iterate on them in practice
- You take ownership of technical challenges and push problems forward, even when things are not working as expected
- You apply structured thinking in discovery and can connect requirements to scalable technical solutions
- You understand that AI solutions depend on solid data foundations
- You are curious and continuously deepen your technical expertise
