About the Role
At Databricks Information Technology, we are a product-led organisation transforming the way we work, from how easy it is to use our IT services to the applications we develop to help us scale seamlessly amid incredible growth.
As an IT Software Engineer (Infrastructure), you will be a core technical contributor on the IT CorpEng Infrastructure team, owning and driving the evolution of our core infrastructure and observability platforms. This role requires a strong software engineering mindset, deep technical breadth across SRE and infrastructure worlds, and the ability to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions for currently "immature" system problems. You will be responsible for building resilient, scalable, and automated infrastructure that empowers our development teams. As a member of the team, you will bridge the gap between software engineering and systems architecture, ensuring our AWS environment is cost-optimised, secure, and highly available.
The impact you will have:
- Automate: Develop and deploy production-grade infrastructure on cloud platforms (AWS preferred) using Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform or Pulumi.
- Orchestration: Deploy, manage, and scale containerised workloads using Kubernetes (EKS/AKS), focusing on security, reliability, and resource efficiency.
- CI/CD Excellence: Build and maintain robust deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions, including both cloud-hosted and self-hosted runners for specialised build requirements.
- Drive "Observable by Default" Frameworks: Implement infrastructure standards to ensure new internal applications are secure, with logging, metrics, and tracing configured out of the box.
- Tooling, Scripting & AI: Build internal CLI tools, AI-assisted workflows, and automation scripts to streamline developer workflows and reduce manual toil.
- Partner Cross-Functionally: Collaborate with Security, Engineering, Infrastructure, and Support teams to execute technical projects aligned with business outcomes.
- Document & Knowledge Share: Participate in peer code reviews, maintain operational playbooks/failure triage guides, and help onboard team members onto platforms you maintain.
What we look for:
- Software Engineering Expertise: 3–5 years of hands-on software engineering experience, with strong proficiency in Python for scripting, automation, and tooling (required).
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Solid working knowledge of Terraform (modules, state management) or Pulumi (preferred).
- Cloud & Containerization: Hands-on experience building and supporting production workloads in AWS (or Azure/GCP), along with Kubernetes and Docker fundamentals.
- CI/CD & Automation: Practical experience designing, maintaining, and troubleshooting pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar modern CI/CD tools.
- Observability Foundations: Practical understanding of observability pillars (logging, metrics, tracing) and hands-on experience integrating tools such as Datadog, Prometheus, or Grafana.
- Independent Execution: Proven ability to own end-to-end tasks with guidance from Tech Leads, breaking down broader technical goals into actionable technical solutions.

About this role
Databricks' IT Infrastructure team is seeking a Software Engineer to build and evolve the internal cloud platforms that power the company's rapid growth. You'll own core infrastructure and observability systems, working across AWS environments to deliver automated, scalable solutions that development teams depend on. This role bridges software engineering and systems architecture—you'll write production infrastructure code in Terraform or Pulumi, manage containerized workloads on Kubernetes, design CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, and establish observability standards so new applications ship secure and instrumented by default.
The position calls for 3–5 years of software engineering experience with strong Python skills for scripting and automation. You'll need hands-on familiarity with AWS (or equivalent cloud platforms), Docker and Kubernetes fundamentals, and practical knowledge of observability tools like Datadog or Prometheus. Experience designing and maintaining modern CI/CD systems is essential. The role rewards independent execution—you'll own end-to-end technical projects with guidance from Tech Leads, collaborate across Security and Engineering teams, and contribute to documentation and knowledge sharing as the team scales.
This is an in-office position based in Bengaluru, suited to engineers who want to move beyond individual feature work and take ownership of infrastructure that directly enables thousands of developers at a high-growth company.
