More and more of our customers in Germany - public sector, critical infrastructure (KRITIS), financial services, healthcare, defence and industry - need to keep control over where their data lives and who can access it. They want the full power of the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform without giving up data residency, jurisdictional control or the option to switch providers.\nAs a Solutions Architect for Digital Sovereignty, you are the technical lead for this motion in Germany. You design sovereign data and AI architectures with customers, run proofs of concept end to end, and help our sovereign cloud partners and account teams turn a proven pattern into production workloads.\nThe impact you will have\nAct as the trusted technical advisor on digital sovereignty for strategic and regulated customers across Germany, from the first conversation with the CIO/CISO through to production.\nDesign and validate sovereign reference architectures\nRun complex proofs of concept and pilots - performance, scalability, security and network connectivity tests with different data volumes - and translate the results into clear go/no-go recommendations.\nWork hand in hand with sovereign cloud and storage partners: joint solution design, enablement of partner technical teams, co-selling and joint customer workshops.\nPosition Databricks clearly in the sovereignty discussion - CLOUD Act, GDPR, NIS2, DORA, BSI C5, EU Data Act, open formats and exit strategies - and articulate how our open architecture reduces lock-in compared with competing approaches.\nFeed field requirements back to Databricks Product and Engineering, and collaborate with Legal, Security and Compliance on customer questions.\nBuild repeatable assets: reference architectures, demos, PoC playbooks, Terraform/automation templates and customer-facing collateral in German and English.\nBuild Databricks' visibility on sovereignty in the German market through workshops, meetups, webinars and conference talks.\nTurn customer conversations into working prototypes fast, using AI-assisted development to build demos in hours rather than weeks.\nWhat we look for\nFluent German and business-level English. Both are used daily with customers, partners and internally.\nSubstantial experience in technical pre-sales, solution architecture or consulting, including complex enterprise customer interactions across the full sales lifecycle.\nHands-on experience with data platforms in at least one major public cloud (Azure, AWS or GCP), ideally including Apache Spark and/or Databricks.\nSolid understanding of cloud infrastructure: networking (private connectivity, VPN, private endpoints), identity and access management, encryption and key management (BYOK/HYOK).\nExperience with object storage and open table formats (S3-compatible storage such as MinIO, Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg) and with secure data sharing patterns.\nGood working knowledge of the regulatory and sovereignty landscape in Germany and the EU (e.g. GDPR, CLOUD Act implications, NIS2, DORA, BSI C5, KRITIS) and the ability to discuss it confidently with CISOs, data protection officers and procurement.\nAbility to drive technical and business conversations with C-level executives, orchestrate cross-functional and partner teams, and influence outcomes toward long-term customer success.\nHands-on coding ability in Python and SQL; infrastructure-as-code experience (e.g. Terraform) is a plus.\nDaily, fluent use of AI tools in your own work. Coding assistants and agents are part of how you operate, not something you try out occasionally.\nAble to vibe-code a demo: assemble a credible, working prototype for a specific customer problem with AI assistance, and recognize where the output still needs your own judgment.\nExperience working with or for European / sovereign cloud providers, public sector or regulated industries is a strong plus.\nJudgment to prioritize the right use cases and investments, and to navigate a competitive landscape.\nWillingness to travel within Germany for customer and partner meetings.\nWhy this role\nYou will shape a new, strategically important motion for Databricks in Germany and EMEA - building on a proof of concept that has already delivered results.\nYou will work at the intersection of data and AI, cloud infrastructure, regulation and partnerships.\nYou will collaborate closely with Field Engineering leadership, Product, and our partner ecosystem.\nAbout Databricks\nDatabricks is the Data and AI company.
