Mission
At Databricks, our mission as designers is to make data science simpler and more accessible so that more people can contribute to solving the world’s toughest problems. Product Designers at Databricks balance the creativity of a craftsperson with the analytical curiosity of a data scientist.

We design simple and collaborative products that have the power to delight a discriminating and highly technical audience.

- A natural communicator who can explain and document the behavior of the components they design
