Databricks
About this role
The deepest infrastructure role in today's edition. Databricks networking infrastructure is the layer connecting its control plane to the compute plane and powering the enterprise security features customers use to build private connectivity and prevent data exfiltration. The posting says you would be one of the early members of a rapidly growing Bangalore site, defining the technical vision for connectivity and observability services managing millions of virtual machines across multiple clouds. The bar is steep and stated twice over: fifteen years of production experience in Rust, Java, Scala or C++, and ten years building large scale distributed systems from scratch. It is an architecture and influence role that stays hands on. Bengaluru.
Who this is for
What the posting asks for:
- 15+ years of production level experience in one of Rust, Java, Scala, C++ or a similar language.
- 10+ years of experience developing large scale distributed systems from scratch.
- Experience working on a SaaS platform or with service oriented architectures.
- Experience with cloud networking, Kubernetes, and infrastructure automation languages such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
Note on the years: the posting lists both figures as requirements, so the effective bar is the higher one. We have published 15 rather than the lower figure because both sit in the mandatory list.
Day to day: owning and driving the design of large scale connectivity platforms forming the backbone between the Databricks control plane and compute plane; improving the scalability, reliability and efficiency of the compute infrastructure; setting technical direction at org level; leading complex cross team initiatives; and mentoring senior engineers. The posting says the role requires both hands on technical leadership and the ability to influence architecture and execution across teams.
Why the site matters: the posting positions this as an early hire at a rapidly growing Bangalore site, with scope to define architecture rather than inherit it.
Location and office reality: Bengaluru. The posting does not publish an office day policy.
Honest fit guidance: fifteen years is genuinely the floor here and networking depth is not optional. This is the least accessible role in today's list, published because engineers at that level rarely see India based openings of this scope. If you are at ten to twelve years with strong multi cloud networking, you are under the stated bar but close enough that an application is not wasted.
