In the posting’s own words

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 it asks for · 1

  • 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.

Also a plus

  • Familiarity with off-the-shelf skills-intelligence tooling and build-vs-buy tradeoffs.
  • Experience instrumenting capability data across several audiences.

What the job covers

  • Anywhere skills show up in products: You define what technical capability means and what evidence counts, so wherever skills are inferred, captured, or recognized, it reflects real technical work and skills & abilities.
  • Content and curriculum. The skills taxonomy and capability model influence what gets built next and why. Learning context is a critical input to generative content.
  • Learning architecture and in-product training: Your work informs what learning belongs where and how it’s presented. Pathways are assembled with the model and taxonomy instead of mapped by hand; in-product training surfaces them to learners.
  • Certification & accreditation . The capability model grounds skills assessment to guide and accelerate exam developers.
  • Learning & enablement . You give the organization a current view of capability across every audience, and a shared model to build and plan against.
