Sr. Engineering Manager at Databricks leading the Lakeflow Designer team, building a visual and AI-first SQL editing experience. Manage 6-15 engineers, drive product launch to GA in 6-9 months, and oversee React/TypeScript frontend stack with agentic LLM capabilities.
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 tackle 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.
The Authoring team at Databricks builds the main user experience which drives the workloads for most of the company’s revenue. Within this organization, the Lakeflow Designer team is on a mission to enable less technical users to transform data with ease through a low-code and AI-first experience. We are vastly simplifying the way our customers build SQL and ELT pipelines by combining a visual editing surface with agentic assistance, making powerful data insights accessible to this new persona.
As the Engineering Manager for Lakeflow Designer, you will lead a seed team of engineers to build a brand new Visual and AI-first editing experience for Databricks SQL. You will play a pivotal role in bringing this product from its current Private Preview stage to General Availability (GA) in the next 6-9 months. You will be responsible for scaling the team from its current size of ~6 engineers to 10-15 over the next year. This is a high-visibility frontend-focused role where you will guide the development of intuitive user experiences and embedded agentic assistants that have the potential to completely change how customers interact with and analyze data on the platform.
