Responsibilities

  • ● Build the data infrastructure organization that makes Databricks' continued growth possible.
  • ● Establish foundational teams in Bengaluru owning the bedrock systems that guarantee billing correctness, operational resilience, and zero-downtime recovery across the entire monetization stack.
  • ● Oversee multi-region data ingestion, developer platforms, and deployment automation that eliminate friction at petabyte scale.
  • ● Define what world-class infrastructure looks like for the next decade of data platforms.
  • ● Shape architectural decisions that ripple across the company.
  • ● Champion infrastructure-as-product thinking that transforms infrastructure into force multipliers globally.
  • ● Deliver the infrastructure vision for systems processing billions in daily billing transactions with zero tolerance for error.
  • ● Build disaster recovery that's provably reliable, testing frameworks that catch what production sees, correctness systems that make billing errors structurally impossible, and observability that predicts failures before they happen.
  • ● Build Bengaluru's data infrastructure organization by establishing it as the destination for India's top infrastructure talent, hiring multiple engineering managers who become force multipliers, and creating a culture where solving hard distributed systems problems at scale is the daily work.
  • ● Own business-critical systems operating 24/7/365 across 100+ regions where even 99.9% uptime means hours of customer pain, driving reliability improvements that prevent millions in revenue loss while eliminating operational toil through frameworks that make systems se.

Requirements

  • ● Built infrastructure organizations at companies where five nines weren't simply aspirational.
  • ● Experience where petabyte-scale wasn't marketing but Monday.
  • ● Experience where the infrastructure team's technical leverage determined whether the business could scale or stall.
  • ● Technical depth to debate data architecture.
  • ● Strategic vision to define multi-year platform roadmaps.
  • ● Leadership craft to build teams that top engineers want to join.
  • ● Conviction that data infrastructure done right doesn't just support the business; it defines what's possible.
