ABOUT ENTRADA AI

Entrada AI is a specialized consulting partner and a strategic portfolio company of Databricks Ventures. This is a rare distinction: Databricks invested in us because of our technical excellence, placing us in the "inner circle" of the ecosystem. For our engineers, this means direct access to product roadmaps, private previews, and the teams building the platform.

You will join a team of industry veterans and Databricks MVPs. We look for engineers who value clean architecture over quick fixes. We don't just maintain pipelines; we solve complex architectural challenges for Fortune 500 clients using features often before they are widely available.

• Provide guidance and best practices to data engineers, analysts, and developers on data architecture and design.

• Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in data architecture, and apply them to enhance our data infrastructure.

• Create and maintain documentation for data architecture, including data flow diagrams, data models, and system integrations.

• Travel to client sites as needed (up to 20% travel required)
