Reporting to the Head of Security Field Engineering, you will meet with customers to answer questions, train other Databricks team members, build customer-facing content such as slide decks, white papers, and maybe write code that customers can use. Our team prioritizes scale -- we'd rather spend an hour building a doc than be in ten hours of meetings, rather deliver agent skills and knowledge base articles than be the rock star answering all the questions.
