About the role

Databricks seeks a Skills Systems Architect to define, measure, and develop technical capability across learner audiences by building a capability model that links roles, skills, content, and credentials, with AI-native tooling and observability.

Responsibilities

  • Define the skills taxonomies that make up technical capability and shape how they’re organized; what skills exist, which are adjacent, which are prerequisites, how quickly they go stale, and what sources are available to learners for developing and maintaining them.
  • Stand up instrumentation and AI-informed signals that show where capability stands and where it's drifting; develop live signals to show how skills are moving and evolving.
  • Anticipate where capability demand is heading and track changes to surface emerging skills early so content and programs stay ahead of change.
  • Build software that maintains the skills taxonomy and capability model, including LLM-driven skill extraction and organization, agentic pipelines, drift and gap detection, and APIs that expose it all.
  • Make the model reusable enterprise context that other systems, teams, and products build on vs. a training-only asset.

Qualifications

  • Experience in technical training, learning, enablement, or product education in data & AI, cloud, or comparable product categories.
  • Experience designing capability or skills models and the systems around them, spanning modeling, measurement, and instrumentation.
  • A builder mindset with ability to use Python and SQL to build apps, wire up pipelines, and stand up tooling with AI assistance.
  • AI-native approach to extraction, assessment, agentic workflows, and evaluation; understanding when to use AI and when not.
  • Track record of moving strategy as an IC through analysis and clear writing.
