The FDE (Forward Deployed Engineering) team is a strategic initiative to win high-value AI opportunities by selling and delivering outcomes. As a Sr. Deployment Strategist, you will be part of the founding team, embedded with strategic customers, and responsible for defining the technical and product direction of engagements.

**Role Description** You will be the critical bridge between a customer's multi-million-dollar business problem and Databricks' technical solution. You will build C-suite trust, perform deep discovery, scope the value, define the Minimum Viable Product, write the PRD, and manage the project to a successful landing.

**The Impact You Will Have**

- Technical Solution Leadership & Delivery: Drive the FDE build team through an agile delivery process, manage stakeholders, and unblock technical or organisational issues.

- Solution Launch & Landing: Own the 'Day 0' launch, manage the war room, and drive the solution from launch to full adoption.

- Strategic Handoff & Growth: Scope the ongoing maintenance plan, create customer documentation/training, and leverage your trusted advisor status to identify the next high-value FDE engagement.

**What We Look For**

- Executive Presence & Communication: Trusted advisor with strong executive presence and excellent communication skills.

- Product Judgment & Delivery: Define what to build and why, write strong product requirements, prioritise engineering work, and manage scope.

- Technical Fluency & Architecture Judgment: Understand modern data and AI architectures, lead architecture discussions, evaluate trade-offs, and pressure-test technical decisions.

- Hands-on Technical Ability: Proficient in at least one language such as Python, Java, or SQL.

- Relevant Experience: Typically 7+ years of experience delivering complex, customer-facing data, analytics, AI, or software engagements.

**Pay Range Transparency** The pay range for this role is $219,765-$302,220 USD.
