Staff Technical Solution Engineer

The Impact You’ll Have

• Ensure Platform Reliability: Drive the technical triage, infrastructure visibility, and incident resolution for Databricks’ multi-cloud data enclaves and Generative AI software running inside air-gapped environments.
• Unblock Secure Engineering Pipelines: Serve as the essential secure-zone operational interface, unblocking complex GovCloud system interactions and taking on the analysis and triage burden for internal engineering teams.
• Execute Advanced Tooling & Scripting: Safely execute and adapt infrastructure scripts, automation tools, and diagnostic workflows natively within secure boundaries, adhering strictly to modern access guidelines.
• Optimize Environment Patching: Identify and resolve systemic environment blocks, reviewing infrastructure configurations to ensure streamlined, compliant patch deployment pipelines.
• Maintain Guardrails & Compliance: Navigate and implement evolving operational frameworks within secure facilities (SCIF), ensuring all GovCloud interactions strictly meet rigorous federal security benchmarks.
