You will work closely with customers to understand their challenges and demonstrate how the Databricks platform can solve them – not just conceptually, but in practice.

• Build and deliver proof-of-concepts, demos, and solution prototypes using real data
• Translate business requirements into practical, scalable data and AI solutions
• Act as a trusted advisor, while also being able to go hands-on to validate solutions end-to-end
• Work through technical challenges with customers, iterating and resolving issues as they arise
• Contribute reusable assets, patterns, and best practices that accelerate adoption across customers

• Ability to communicate complex topics to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Comfortable leading discussions that connect business goals to technical decisions
