Skills: Python, SQLFEQ227R209 About the Role Databricks needs to understand what technical capability looks like across several large, fast-moving populations: employees, customers, and partners. Today that happens through role-based learning pathways and product-aligned enablement, an approach that can't keep pace with how quickly the platform, technology, and roles change. AI has also collapsed the half-life of technical proficiency, and for the first time, it makes a living, self-maintaining model of capability possible. In this builder role, you'll own systems for defining, measuring, and developing technical capability across Databricks learner audiences. You'll build a capability model that ties roles, skills, content, and credentials together and the instrumentation that shows where capability actually stands. What You'll Own Skills taxonomies, capability models, and learning context Define the skills taxonomies that make up technical capability and shape how they’re organized; what skills exist, which are adjacent, which are prerequisites, how quickly they go stale, and what sources are available to learners for developing and maintaining them. Observability and measurement Stand up instrumentation and AI-informed signals that show where capability stands and where it's drifting. Develop live signals, not a quarterly or monthly health index, to show how skills are moving and evolving. Anticipate where capability demand is heading. Product releases, market shifts, and role evolution are constant; track changes closely so emerging skills surface early and content and programs stay ahead of change. AI-native tooling Build the software that maintains the skills taxonomy and capability model, including LLM-driven skill extraction and organization, agentic pipelines that keep them current, automated drift and gap detection, and APIs that expose it all. Make the model reusable enterprise context that other systems, teams, and products build on vs. a training-only asset.
