Hi everyone,

I recently completed the screening round for a Senior Solutions Architect role at Databricks, and after reviewing my profile and discussion, the team mentioned that my experience aligns more closely with the Delivery Solutions Architect role.

I’ve now been scheduled for the Hiring Manager round next week.

The recruiter shared that the interview will focus on areas like:

• AI/Data & AI architecture discussions
• Customer advisory / pre-sales scenarios
• Driving adoption and execution
• Stakeholder management
• Bias for action and ownership
• Team fit and real-world project experience

I have around 7.9 years of experience in Big Data Engineering, PySpark, SQL, Python, Databricks, and AI/ML-related work.

Has anyone recently interviewed for the Delivery Solutions Architect role at Databricks?
Would really appreciate any insights on:

• What kind of questions were asked
• Depth of technical discussion expected
• Whether coding/system design is involved
• How much focus is on customer-facing/pre-sales scenarios
• Tips to prepare for the Hiring Manager round

Thanks in advance!
