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 the enterprise software landscape shifts from standard software-as-a-service to autonomous intelligence, Databricks is leading the charge by fundamentally transforming how an AI company runs itself. We are seeking a Sr. Staff Technical Program Manager (L7) to lead a high-impact internal incubator within our Corporate Engineering organization. Operating as a strategic, hands-on technical leader and a manager of a lean team of 3 to 4 TPMs , you will bridge the gap between internal infrastructure and cutting-edge product engineering. Your primary mission is to build Databricks' first-party agentic application platform designed to architect, deploy, and scale internal AI tools and autonomous digital agents. By driving this mission, you will eliminate corporate reliance on third-party vendors and vendor software, replacing legacy SaaS with native, highly scalable solutions built directly on top of the Databricks platform.
In this role, you will act as a premier thought leader redefining the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) through the lens of artificial intelligence. You will partner directly with our CIO, Corporate Engineering VPs, R&D Operations, and cross-functional product teams to establish the operational connective tissue necessary to move sophisticated tools from initial concept to full Go-To-Market (GTM) readiness. This is not an administrative management role; it is an elite technical execution seat where you will architect the systems that turbocharge internal operations and unlock entirely new capabilities for thousands of Databricks employees worldwide.
