About this role
Databricks is seeking a Solutions Architect to work from their Adelaide office, serving as the technical bridge between the company's Data Intelligence Platform and customers across your assigned territory. You'll partner with Account Executives to demonstrate how Databricks solves complex data challenges, positioning yourself as a trusted advisor on architecture and implementation. This role combines hands-on technical work—developing proofs-of-concept, authoring reference architectures, and building demo applications—with community engagement through workshops and seminars.
The position requires strong foundational skills in at least one core programming language (Python, Java, or Scala) and practical experience with big data analytics platforms and public cloud environments. You'll need to translate between technical depth and business value, moving fluidly between detailed architecture discussions with engineers and high-level conversations with decision-makers. Success depends on your ability to discover customer needs, scope solutions, and guide adoption of the platform while continuously building your expertise as a technical or industry specialist.
This role suits someone who enjoys customer interaction as much as technical problem-solving, has hands-on experience with modern data platforms, and is motivated by helping organizations unlock value from their data. The in-office requirement in Adelaide means this is best suited to candidates already based in or willing to relocate to that region.
