Staff Software Engineer - Multi Cloud Efficiency

P-1563

At Databricks, we are passionate about enabling data teams to solve the worlds 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 worlds 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 were only getting started in Bengaluru , India ! As a software engineer with a backend focus, you will work with your team to build infrastructure for the Databricks platform at scale.

About the Team

We manage the infrastructure efficiency for one of the worlds largest data and AI platforms Operating at massive scale across AWS, Azure, and GCP, our mission is to ensure that every dollar spent on cloud infrastructure is optimized

The MCE team builds the critical tools, frameworks, and automated systems that provide deep cost visibility and ensure maximum resource utilization We arent just cutting costs; we are engineering systems to scale efficiently as our cloud footprint expands into the hundreds of millions of dollars.

The Role

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will serve as the technical lead for the Bengaluru MCE chapter You will be responsible for defining the technical strategy for efficiency projects where the solutions are not yet known

You will lead cross-functional efforts, working with finance and cost team, to tackle massive-scale engineering challenges, ensuring our systems can automatically drive cost efficiency and handle the complexity of global, multi-cloud data processing without compromising on performance or stability

As one of the founding senior engineers of the Bengaluru MCE chapter — a team that has already delivered millions of dollars in verified annual cloud savings within two quarters of formation — you will shape its technical direction and help scale it toward amplifying global impact.

The impact you will have

• Architect at Scale : Lead the design and implementation of systems to optimize cloud spend, driving impact in the magnitude of hundreds of millions of dollars. You will architect solutions for complex problems like reserved-instance automation, tag-based cost attribution at scale, automated waste-cleanup policy engines, and cross-cloud resource governance.
• Drive Technical Strategy : Identify and deliver high-impact, well-adopted projects that solve complex efficiency problems. You will define the roadmap for our efficiency pillar, conducting thorough design reviews and risk assessments for systems supporti
