You'll need to position Databricks as a technical leader by speaking at three to six industry events quarterly.
• Drive overall awareness of Data Engineering, Machine Learning and Deep Learning technologies and lifecycle.
• Grow open source and Databricks meetups + user groups to tens of thousands of attendees.

• Build data analyses, machine learning models and other examples on large scale data for demonstration and teaching purposes.
