At Databricks, we are passionate about enabling data 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.

The Lakebase Platform Reliability team’s footprint spans multiple stacks, systems, and stakeholders. They include AI-powered tooling and workflows for customer management, real-time observability during incidents, monitoring and auditing systems that underpin compliance requirements, and customer-facing operational APIs and maintenance workflows.
