About Databricks
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.
The Role
As enterprise data enclaves and Generative AI applications become mission-critical to national security and public sector modernization, maintaining the architectural resilience and operational integrity of the underlying platform is paramount. Databricks is seeking a Staff Systems Development Engineer (GovOps) to join our Cleared Engineering team in McLean, VA. Sitting at the vital intersection of core infrastructure operations and active platform reliability, this team serves as the ultimate technical authority for our platform across GovCloud, FedRAMP High, and air-gapped environments.
In this staff-level capacity, you will operate as a technical force multiplier, moving beyond complex escalation resolution to architect long-term system stability, drive fleet-wide supportability features, and eliminate systemic operational bottlenecks across multiple platform domains, including Compute, Networking, Storage, IAM, and OS internals. Serving as a primary technical pillar, you will bridge the gap between uncleared core engineering teams and cleared high-side environments, providing high-side technical leadership, virtual and physical escorts, and precise cross-boundary communication. If you are a seasoned systems authority who thrives under pressure, excels at designing tooling for constrained environments, and wants to shape the secure infrastructure powering next-generation federal AI workloads, this role offers unmatched scope and strategic impact.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in McLean, VA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How McLean compares. Among the 100 largest places in Virginia, McLean is #17 by population, #1 for household income (#1 = highest), #3 for college degrees (#1 = most), #97 for rent (#1 = cheapest). Its county, Fairfax County, is #3 of 133 counties for average pay ($114,100).
McLean has 49,627 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.6% of the population of Virginia. It covers 25 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 2,001 people per square mile. The median age is 46.6, 19% older than the state median (46.6 against 39.0). It is a census-designated place: a community the Census Bureau counts as a unit, without a city government of its own, so services such as police, roads and zoning usually come from the county.
The median gross rent is $3,422 a month (rent plus utilities), 117% above the state median ($3,422 against $1,579). Over a year that is 16.4% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $1,412,700, which is 5.7 times the median household income ($250,001); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 86.1% of households own their home, 28% above the state average (86.1% against 67.3%).
The Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metropolitan area has 3,136,190 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $71,060 a year, 39% above the national median ($71,060 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are business and financial operations (369,190 jobs, median $105,260); management (319,760 jobs, median $165,010); office and administrative support (290,050 jobs, median $53,250). The area is most specialised in legal (2.6 times) and computer and mathematical (2.2 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are legal ($175,070) and management ($165,010). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Fairfax County was 3.4%. 61.4% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Fairfax County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 51.3% drive alone, 3.4% use public transit, 1.0% walk, 38.3% work from home. 15.9% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 9% below the state average (15.9% against 17.6%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
84.3% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 100% above the state share (84.3% against 42.2%). 25.0% of residents were born outside the United States, 91% above the state share (25.0% against 13.1%). The poverty rate is 2.9%, 71% below the state rate (2.9% against 9.9%).
The warmest month is Jul, averaging 78°F (25.6°C), and the coolest is Jan at 31°F (-0.4°C). About 1,117 mm (44 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (120 mm) and Jan the driest (65 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Tysons (2 miles, rent 27% lower); Idylwood (4 miles, rent 40% lower); Falls Church (4 miles, rent 36% lower); Vienna (5 miles, rent 30% lower). Rent differences are against McLean; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
