About this Databricks Engineer (Remote, US) role at V4C.ai
About V4C
V4C is a pure-play Databricks partner, and in under two years we have earned 850+ Databricks certifications across 325+ customers and been named Databricks' 2026 Partner of the Year (C&SI Emerging).
As a Databricks Engineer, you will build and optimize production pipelines on the Databricks Lakehouse, working directly with customers and often Databricks' own field teams. Every technical hire here gets a certification roadmap built for them and taught in-house by Databricks-approved trainers, plus a dedicated Employee Success Manager whose only responsibility is your experience at V4C.
Position
Databricks Engineers build the pipelines enterprise customers run their business on. You will work under a senior engineer or architect, taking a defined piece of an engagement and owning it end to end: ingesting from systems that were not designed to be ingested from, transforming data through Medallion layers, and getting it to a state analysts and ML workloads can actually use. You will be client-facing — standups, working sessions, occasionally explaining to a stakeholder why something is harder than it looked. This is where most of our engineers start, and the certification roadmap is built around moving you up from it.

- Implement Medallion architecture layers
- Deploy and manage data resources on AWS, Azure, or GCP

- Strong proficiency in Python and SQL; working knowledge of Apache Spark and distributed processing fundamentals
- Experience with data modeling across dimensional, normalized, and Lakehouse patterns, and the judgment to know when each applies
- Experience with CI/CD and DevOps practices for data platform deployment
Preferences
- Healthcare or life sciences experience preferred but not required
- Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional or a Platform Architect
