RDQ327R173

Mission

At Databricks, we design tools that make complex data workflows intuitive and powerful. On the data engineering team, our mission is to simplify how data is ingested, transformed, and prepared so that teams across an organization can turn raw data into impact. Designers at Databricks blend strong visual craft with systems thinking, shaping products that support some of the most advanced data teams in the world.

Lakeflow Connect solves a persistent data engineering problem: moving data from enterprise systems (Salesforce, Workday, SQL Server, and more) into Databricks. Over 2,000 customers already use our point-and-click ingestion experience, and we're hiring a Senior Product Designer to take it further.

You'll own the end-to-end design of how users discover, configure, monitor, and troubleshoot their ingestion pipelines, shaping experiences for both data engineers and business analysts. You'll partner with cross-functional teams in SF and Seattle to ensure a cohesive experience across the data engineering journey.

Own the end-to-end ingestion experience across connector setup, credentials, scheduling, monitoring, error recovery, and schema evolution.
