About this role
Sr. Staff Software Engineer — Observability, Insights & Governance Bellevue, Washington; Seattle, Washington RDQ126R35 At Databricks, observability and governance are what turn a massive, multi-tenant data and AI platform into one customers can trust at scale. We are looking for a senior technical leader to drive strategy and execution across three closely related teams at the heart of that mission: Query Observability, SQL Warehouse Management, and Account-Level Observability and Governance. Query Observability builds the performance and observability tooling, ingesting very large volumes of query telemetry and turning it into history views, execution plans, performance insights, and recommendations that help customers run workloads reliably at scale. Beyond query observability, you will be responsible for building observability and actionable insights at compute level, workspace level, and account level so that admins can confidently manage large accounts. This is a new technical leadership role responsible for setting the durable architecture across all these surfaces, raising the engineering bar of the combined team, and shaping the next generation of agentic experiences that let users - and the systems they run on - investigate, diagnose, and act on insights across query, warehouse, workspace, and account levels. The Impact You Will Have - Establish the long-term technical direction across query observability, warehouse management, and account-level governance, and own the multi-year architecture all three surfaces are built on. - Design and lead high-impact projects that move the needle on performance, reliability, and cost transparency for customers. - Build the next generation of agentic observability and governance -
