Project Manager

About Entrada AI

Entrada AI is a specialized consulting partner and a strategic portfolio company of Databricks Ventures. We were recently named the Genie Partner of the Year (2026) for our work deploying Databricks Genie at enterprise scale—bridging the gap between AI ambition and the trusted, governed data required for accurate responses. With over 150 Databricks projects delivered, we unlock self-service analytics for Fortune 500 leaders.

Databricks invested in us because of our technical excellence, placing us in the "inner circle" of the ecosystem. For our engineers, this means direct access to product roadmaps, private previews, and the teams building the platform. You will join a team of industry veterans who value clean architecture over quick fixes. We don't just maintain pipelines; we solve complex architectural challenges.
