At Databricks, we are passionate about enabling Data and AI teams to solve the world's toughest problems — from making the next mode of transportation a reality to accelerating the development of medical breakthroughs. We do this by building and running the world's best Data and AI infrastructure platform so our customers can use deep data insights to improve their business. Founded by engineers — and customer obsessed — we leap at every opportunity to solve technical challenges, from designing next-gen UI/UX for interfacing with data to scaling our services and infrastructure across millions of virtual machines. And we're only getting started. 

Technical Program Management is an integral part of the Databricks engineering organization and acts as the connective tissue between the various cross-functional teams in the company. In addition to defining and managing repeatable processes to drive execution velocity, TPMs at Databricks are also expected to drive teams through ambiguity, identify risks, manage constraints, find solutions, remove blockers and launch products.
