Solutions Architect - CustomerLake

Recruiter: FRANCESCA PATERNOSTER

Hiring Manager: MATTHEW THOMSON

REQ#: FEQ327R424

Marketing teams are stuck between fragmented customer data and martech stacks that copy that data into proprietary silos while customers expect real-time, personalized experiences. Customer Lake, the agentic Customer Data Platform (CDP) built natively into Databricks, changes that equation. It unifies first- and third-party data into governed Customer 360 profiles, resolves identities, and uses agents to build audiences, recommend next-best actions, and activate campaigns across channels, all without copying data out of the Lakehouse or adding vendor lock-in.

The Solutions Architect (Customer Lake) team is part of a dedicated, global go-to-market organization focused on driving adoption and revenue growth for Customer Lake, Databricks’ agentic Customer Data Platform (CDP) built natively into the Data Intelligence Platform. The Customer Lake SA will engage clients across business units and verticals, build relationships with marketing and data stakeholders, position Customer Lake in depth, and deliver presentations, demos, and POCs that drive informed adoption decisions. They will understand the guardrails and the steps needed to successfully land and expand Customer Lake as clients deliver on their customer engagement and growth objectives.
