Solutions Architect, CustomerLake

<p>Marketing teams are stuck between fragmented customer data and martech stacks that copy that data into proprietary silos while customers expect real-time, personalized experiences. Customer Lake, the agentic Customer Data Platform (CDP) built natively into Databricks, changes that equation. It unifies first- and third-party data into governed Customer 360 profiles, resolves identities, and uses agents to build audiences, recommend next-best actions, and activate campaigns across channels, all without copying data out of the Lakehouse or adding vendor lock-in.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The Solutions Architect (Customer Lake) team is part of a dedicated, global go-to-market organization focused on driving adoption and revenue growth for Customer Lake, Databricks’ agentic Customer Data Platform (CDP) built natively into the Data Intelligence Platform.
