At Databricks, we are dedicated to empowering data teams to tackle the most challenging problems in the world—ranging from transforming transportation to accelerating groundbreaking medical advancements. Our mission is realized through the development and operation of the premier data and AI infrastructure platform, enabling our clients to leverage deep data insights for enhanced business performance.
The ingestion of data into the Lakehouse represents a pivotal investment area for Databricks, serving as a vital enabler for Data and AI processes. The Lakeflow Connect initiative aims to address this challenge by offering intuitive, ready-to-use connectors for a diverse array of sources, including enterprise applications (such as Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, SharePoint), databases (e.g., SQL Server), cloud storage, message queues, and local files.
In addition to being a crucial component of Lakeflow and Data Engineering, Connect is a fundamental platform capability. Every interface at Databricks (Dashboards, Notebooks, SQL, AI) relies on ingestion functionality, and the leader in this role will collaborate closely with other product teams to integrate Connect into these interfaces.
We are seeking engineers who possess a strong foundation in core database internals to join our Lakeflow Connect team. A significant aspect of Connect involves extracting data from OLTP systems while minimizing the impact on production environments. To achieve this efficiently, we are developing systems that implement techniques such as incremental data capture and log parsing. We are looking for hands-on engineers eager to make a substantial impact on a critical challenge facing the company.
