Delivery Solutions Architect (DSA) Overview
At Databricks, we are on a mission to empower our customers to solve the world's toughest data problems with the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. As a Delivery Solutions Architect (DSA), you are a trusted technical advisor to key customers, providing expert guidance that translates data, analytics and AI challenges into high‑impact business value. You help design, implement, and scale data and AI solutions, focusing on architecture, operational excellence, and customer enablement. Internally, you will collaborate with our sales and field engineering teams to accelerate the adoption and growth of the Databricks Platform in your customers.
Key Focus Areas
- Designing secure, scalable architecture
- Aligning people, processes, and technology
- Establishing trusted advisor relationships
- Leveraging the broader ecosystem of Databricks experts
This is a hybrid technical and commercial role. Technically, you will become the post‑sales technical lead and trusted advisor across all Databricks products for the customer’s top priority use cases. You will use your technical skills and credibility to engage and communicate with technical leadership stakeholders in customer organizations, conduct architecture reviews, help with performance and cost optimizations, demonstrate new capabilities, and remove blockers. In parallel, it is commercial: you will drive growth in your assigned customers and use cases through leading customers’ stakeholders, building executive relationships, orchestrating other focused/specialized teams within Databricks, and creating and driving onboarding plans.
While not a hands‑on‑keyboard role, this is a highly technical position where architectural skills in fields such as Data Architecture, Data Engineering, Data Warehousing or Data Science are essential. You will report directly to a DSA Manager within the Field Engineering organization.
