Job description

P-1607

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.

CRM is where revenue teams record their work, however they generally lack a solid intelligence layer. Objects are customized past recognition, history is incomplete, and reps route around whatever slows them down. As a result, the sales intelligence layer increasingly lives in a Data+AI platform. We are looking to productize with data & agents what our customers have been already manually building in our platform.

The impact you'll have:

• Lead the modeling of sales/CRM objects, relationships, and history into a representation agents can reason over reliably
• Lead development of agents used by reps, sales management, and revenue operations
• Define the write path back into the system of record: permissions, validation, idempotency, audit, and human approval
• Help define & lead the implementation of the initial use cases on top of the data & agents
• Partner closely with product management, design, and other engineering teams to build intuitive, scalable, and extensible solutions that drive user & business growth
• Create novel, never-seen-before interfaces for GenAI agents that manage complex workflows while keeping the human in the loop through inspectability and transparency

What we look for:

• 10+ years of engineering experience, including time as a tech lead, or leading other tech leads, on complex enterprise software projects
• Deep hands-on knowledge of at least one major CRM data model and platform (Salesforce, Dynamics, HubSpot): objects, sharing and permission models, history tables, bulk and change-data APIs, platform limits
• Real understanding of how reps and managers use these tools day to day, and where forecasting, pipeline hygiene, and territory data break down
• Experience shipping production agents with tool use, permissioned writes, and human-in-the-loop review
• High ownership and bias for action in 0→1 environments: you are comfortable making pragmatic trade-offs, operating with incomplete information, and driving projects from idea through launch and adoption
• Strong ability to collaborate across product, engineering, and design teams to align technical strategy with company growth objectives
• Demonstrated product mindset with the ability to translate ambiguous customer problems into scrappy MVPs and iterate quickly based on data and user feedback
• Combination of technical and people leadership, for example, as a TLM (Nice to have)
• Built revops, forecasting, or CPQ-adjacent products (Nice to have)
• Time spent in-house on a Salesforce platform team or at an SI (Nice to have)

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.
