Pay Range Transparency ## Description As data and Generative AI applications become increasingly foundational to public sector modernization and national security, safeguarding the infrastructure that powers them is paramount. Databricks is looking for a Sr Technical Solution Engineer to join our Cleared Engineering team in McLean, VA. This team sits at the critical intersection of core infrastructure operations and active platform reliability, ensuring our multi-cloud data enclaves and advanced AI software run flawlessly inside highly secure, air-gapped partitions. In this role, you will move beyond reactive ticketing to tackle complex system and network environment blocks, serving as a primary technical pillar for our secure GovCloud operations. This position offers a unique opportunity to own the operational integrity of high-side platform interactions. You will be responsible for executing sophisticated debugging, deep-dive environment analysis, and running specialized tooling and scripts to unblock internal engineering teams. Operating within a high-consequence compliance framework, you will navigate evolving operational models-including dedicated secure facility operations-while directly engineering out systemic roadblocks. If you are a sharp systems or cloud specialist looking to apply your technical expertise to the world's leading Data and AI platform within the intelligence and defense space, this role offers unmatched technical scope and mission-critical impact. 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. ## Related Videos - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Scoring 2000 Products per Request: Performance Pitfalls in Golang](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2073-scoring-2000-products-per-request-performance-pitfalls-in-golang) - [Grappling With Clunky Old Software?
