Teams and roles

• Backend: Java, Scala, Go, Python, or C++. Teams include ingestion, search, networking, data platform, observability, and billing. One Bengaluru team works on the Rust developer experience.
• Search and applied AI: ranking, query understanding, evals, and relevance with LLMs.

What they look for

Databricks wants ambitious builders with experience of systems at scale. Many field roles ask for hands-on Spark and cloud knowledge. The process is a talent acquisition call, skill assessments, a pre-onsite screen, and an onsite loop. Some roles add a presentation, then reference checks and an offer. It takes two to three months. Interviews are on Google Meet and ask for real examples of how you work.
