About The Position

At Databricks, we are passionate about helping data teams solve the world's toughest problems — from making the next mode of transportation a reality to accelerating the development of medical breakthroughs. We do this by building and running the world's best data and AI infrastructure platform so our customers can use deep data insights to improve their business. As an Associate Product Designer, you will join a team that works diligently to understand and solve our customers' most challenging problems. You will learn how to be a successful product designer at a high-growth enterprise technology company that operates at the important intersection of data and AI. As part of our 2027 APD cohort, you will have a dedicated manager and mentor as well as connect with product managers, engineers, designers, researchers, account teams, and leaders from across the company.

Requirements

• You have the demonstrated ability to leverage AI tooling in your design process without sacrificing craft.
• You use good judgement in visual hierarchy, layout, and information architecture to inform your design work.
• You have some first hand experience with SQL and/or Python
• You're hands-on and learn by doing — happy to build, test, and iterate your way to an answer
• You use analytical skills to make data-driven decisions (e.g. analyzing product usage, conducting user experience research)
• You can make complex topics simple and communicate your design perspective to partners (engineers, customers, field) in both written and verbal form
• You're excited to solve ambiguous problems with a collaborative team
• You stay curious and keep learning, whether it's a new technology, a customer's domain, or a corner of the product you haven't touched

Responsibilities

• Work with a cross-functional team to build features for the Databricks platform
• Manage your project end-to-end, from discovery and ideation through final design prototype for engineering to implement
• Work with engineers and designers to ship features on the Databricks platform
• Conduct research with customers to better understand their needs and improve your design
