That lived experience is what makes your enablement credible - Deep hands-on knowledge of PostgreSQL, OLTP databases, or cloud database services - Builder mentality: you default to building tools, demos, and automations, not decks. You use AI tools as a daily force multiplier, not a novelty - Demonstrated ability to build enablement programs from scratch (0-to-1), not just iterate on existing content. You see a blank page as an opportunity, not a problem - Strong product instinct: you can look at a feature roadmap and immediately see how it maps to customer use cases and competitive differentiation - Experience working directly with Product and Engineering teams as a peer, not just a consumer of their content - The backbone to tell Product 'the field can't sell this because X' - backed by data and field evidence - Scaling mindset: everything you build needs to work for a global field team, not a 20-person workshop. You think about leverage and automation before you think about live delivery - Exceptional communication skills - you can make complex distributed systems concepts accessible to a broad technical audience - Familiarity with the data and AI ecosystem: Lakehouse architecture, Delta Lake, vector databases, AI/ML serving patterns ### Nice to Have - Experience at a high-growth infrastructure company during a major product launch - Background in both pre-sales and post-sales technical roles - you've lived the full customer lifecycle - Hands-on experience with Databricks or competitive platforms - Experience building AI applications on operational databases (RAG patterns, agent architectures, etc.) - You've already used AI to build at scale - automating content creation, building internal tools, or shipping demos faster than anyone thought possible ### Pay Range Transparency Databricks is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices.
