Director of Engineering - Databricks Commercialization & Marketplace

Every product Databricks ships has to be priced, contracted, rated and billed before it can earn a dollar. The Money organisation builds the systems that make this happen, at hyperscaler scale and across every major cloud.

As Director of Engineering, you will lead the engineering organisation that owns this commercial engine from start to finish. You will set the product and technology strategy for how Databricks makes money.

What you'll own

The org covers six commercial domains:

• Pricing configuration: SKUs, multipliers, price-change processes, deal desk and discounting
• Orders and contracts: from negotiated quote to order to signed customer contract
• Subscriptions: commit, pay-as-you-go and proof-of-concept subscriptions, plus how contracts are tied to payment methods
• Rating: applying each customer's negotiated price, discounts and conditional benefits to ingested usage to compute the bill
• Billing: commit drawdown, invoicing, Month End Close and related financial processes
• Marketplace: third-party data and solutions, available seamlessly to Databricks customers

The impact you'll have

• Set and communicate the vision. Write the multi-year product and technology strategy for the commerce engine, toward a zero-touch order-to-cash flow and a next-generation billing architecture.
• Own business outcomes across orgs, not just your team's part.
• Make commercialization a platform capability.
• Treat foundations as seriously as features.
• Partner deeply with Business & Finance.
• Build a team of leaders.
• Hire like a founder.

What we're looking for

• 12+ years in software engineering, including 6+ years leading engineering organisations and managing managers, ideally in billing, payments, commerce, fintech or other systems where errors directly cost revenue or create regulatory exposure
• A track record of delivering large, revenue-critical, cross-functional programs
• Technical depth in distributed systems and large-scale data pipelines
• Fluency in order-to-cash and finance concepts
• Strong product judgment
• Clear, confident communication of strategy to executives
• Experience scaling an organization quickly
• BS in Computer Science or a related field; MS preferred
