## Description

Multi-cloud is core to Databricks' product strategy. Compute serves as the layer that abstracts the cloud from the rest of the company. As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you will build unified infrastructure on top of heterogeneous clouds.

You won't just manage infrastructure; you will build it as a product. You will tackle the hard problems of distributed systems: sub-second container/MicroVM startup times, multi-tenant security isolation, and building a unified orchestration layer that scales across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

## Responsibilities

- Design and build the next generation of our Serverless platform, focusing on high availability, low latency, and scale-to-zero efficiency.

- Build a single compute stack that supports heterogeneous workloads, including GPU instance qualification for AI training and stateful execution for Lakebase.

- Solve Multi-Cloud Complexity: Develop platform-level abstractions that allow Databricks to run seamlessly across all major cloud providers.

- Optimize everything from the API gateway down to the host-level networking and container orchestration.

- Work alongside industry experts who have built world-class systems like Borg, Kubernetes, and Uber's infrastructure.

## Requirements

- 5+ years of production-level experience in one of: Python, Java, Scala, C++, or a similar language

- 4+ years of experience developing large-scale distributed systems from scratch

- Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, or MicroVM technologies (e.g., Firecracker) and a strong grasp of cloud provider internals (AWS/Azure/GCP).

- You understand how to build tools from the ground up when existing solutions fail at our scale.

## Pay Range Transparency

The pay range for this role is $164,200-$205,200 USD. Actual compensation packages are based on several factors that are unique to each candidate.
