Senior Software Engineer – Data Visualization

At Databricks, we’re passionate about enabling data teams to solve the world’s toughest problems — from accelerating medical breakthroughs to building the next generation of intelligent products. We do this by creating the world’s best Data Intelligence Platform, empowering customers to turn massive data into deep, actionable insights. Founded by engineers and driven by innovation, we’re obsessed with designing intuitive, high-performance user experiences that make complex data exploration simple and beautiful.

As a Senior Frontend Engineer focused on Data Visualization, you’ll craft interactive and scalable visual experiences that help users explore, analyze, and share insights from data at a massive scale. You’ll work closely with designers, product managers, and backend engineers to build the next generation of visualization frameworks, dashboards, and analytical interfaces within Databricks.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build intuitive, performant interfaces for visual data exploration — from rich dashboards and charts to text to SQL products.
• Develop reusable visualization components and frameworks using technologies like React, TypeScript, Vega/Vega-Lite, D3.js, or ECharts.
• Collaborate with design and product teams to translate complex analytical concepts into delightful visual experiences.
• Drive innovation in how Databricks users interact with data — enabling visualization of billions of rows seamlessly and responsively.
• Own the end-to-end user experience of visualization workflows, including performance, accessibility, and responsiveness.
• Contribute to UI architecture and design systems that support a wide range of visualization and dashboarding use cases.
• Partner with backend teams to define APIs and data contracts optimized for real-time, interactive visual analytics.

What We Look For

• 5+ years of professional experience in frontend development with HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Expertise in React (or similar modern frameworks such as Vue or Angular).
• Strong background in data visualization libraries or frameworks (e.g., D3.js, Vega/Vega-Lite, ECharts, Plotly).
• Deep understanding of UX principles, accessibility, and responsive design for data-heavy interfaces.
• Experience in architecting and shipping large-scale, high-performance visualization systems.
• Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally and deliver impactful user-facing features.
• Passion for transforming complex data and analytics into intuitive, visual stories.
• Familiarity with server-side or API technologies (Node.js, Python, or Java) is a plus.
• Experience with cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP, or Kubernetes) preferred.
