At Databricks, we are inspired by helping data teams solve the world's toughest problems. We do this by building and running the world's best data and AI infrastructure platform, so our customers can focus on the high value challenges that are central to their own missions.

We develop and operate foundational platforms for Data Scientists and Engineers, ranging from data management, metrics, forecasting and anomaly detection infrastructure, to measurement and experimentation, and beyond. Our offering is evolving at fast-pace as we build the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, empowering our customers with an outstanding unified platform for data, analytics, and AI.

As a Data Scientist on the Data Team, you will help build a data-driven culture within Databricks by helping define, measure and lead top company priorities. The Data team also functions as an in-house, production "customer" that feeds Databricks and guides the future direction of the products.
