Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Engineering Manager, Serverless Compute Platform - **Company:** Databricks - **Location:** Bellevue, WA, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $180,500.0 - $225,600.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Computing Platforms, Microsoft Azure, Distributed Systems, Google Cloud, Apache Spark, State Machines, Multi-Cloud, Information Technology, Api Management, Serverless Computing - **Published:** June 29, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=da785993ea05eb3c ## About the Role Do you have experience in Technology management?, Do you have a Bachelor's degree?, * 5+ years managing engineers building and operating distributed systems in production, ideally control-plane or orchestration services * BS or higher in Computer Science or a related field. Equivalent practical experience is equally valued. * Deep technical fluency in infrastructure systems. Ability to deeply review architecture docs, challenge design tradeoffs (e.g., state machine design, API boundaries), and coach senior ICs. * Experience with multi-cloud or multi-region service deployment (AWS, Azure, GCP). * Bias toward operational rigor. Deep commitment to observability, SLOs, pre-mortems, and healthy on-call cultures. * Build and scale a high-caliber team. Manage and elevate a team of strong L3-L5 engineers, establishing clear ownership boundaries and architectural doctrine. You will also hire 2-3 additional engineers to support this expanded scope. ## Description As Engineering Manager for the Execution Sandbox team, you will own the end-to-end delivery of this new service and the engineers building it. * You will inherit a team of strong senior ICs who have already delivered an initial preview. Your job is to build out the full vision, guide evolution, and scale the team. * You will ensure strong execution health and that the service launches with production-grade reliability spanning a range of use cases, e.g. GPU onboarding, UDF generalization, and managed REPL. The impact you will have: Own a 0 * 1 service with platform-wide blast radius. Architect and launch the Execution Sandbox Service from inception to production scale. This greenfield provisioning layer will power all non-Spark compute workloads on Serverless (Notebooks, AI Agents, Remote UDFs). * Unify a fragmented compute surface. Converge disparate CPU and GPU cluster management paths into a single provisioning service, eliminating parity bugs and enabling consistent product experiences. * Collaborate across 5+ partner organizations. Drive alignment on API contracts and shared milestones across Serverless Platform, AI Runtime, Lakeguard, and product teams. * Shape product strategy through deep technical understanding. Partner with Product Management to leverage this new sandbox primitive for future offerings like serverless command execution APIs and FaaS-style workloads. ## Related Videos - [The Open-source Java SDK for Multi-Cloud Development - Sandeep Pal](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2113-the-open-source-java-sdk-for-multi-cloud-development-sandeep-pal) - [The Cloud is Calling: Answer with In-Demand Skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/945-the-cloud-is-calling-answer-with-in-demand-skills) - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [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) - [Leverage Cloud Computing Benefits with Serverless Multi-Cloud ML ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/78-leverage-cloud-computing-benefits-with-serverless-multi-cloud-ml) - [Protector Of The Realm](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/591-protector-of-the-realm) ## Related Articles - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager)
