Mission

At Databricks, our mission as designers is to make data science simpler and more accessible so that more people can contribute to solving the world’s toughest problems. Product Designers at Databricks balance the creativity of a craftsperson with the analytical curiosity of a data scientist. We believe in the traditional and timeless value of great graphic design - while at the same time, we have a restless desire to get to the truth and make the best decisions possible using data. We design simple and collaborative products that have the power to delight a discriminating and highly technical audience. 

In this role, you’ll play a key part in shaping the future of Databricks design. We’re looking for an experienced designer to lead the creation of a new data ingestion and transformation experience. We're searching for an experienced Product Designer with the ability to define strategic vision and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to bring this vision to life.

Ingestion and transformation play a critical role in the ETL process. Your work will streamline how Databricks customers load data into the Lakehouse and simplify how they clean and structure this data for later use.
