Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Databricks

Driven by data. Powered by people.

We’re on a mission to diversify big data — starting with our team. We believe different backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, insights and skills fuel innovation and deepen our connection to one another and our customers. We strive to cultivate a culture of belonging where everyone is empowered to do the best work of their careers. From ensuring equal pay for equal work to building programming that celebrates, educates and uplifts our team, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is woven into everything we do.

FairPay

Fair Pay Workplace Certified

We’re proud to be one of the first six organizations certified by Fair Pay Workplace. As part of our efforts to achieve pay parity, Databricks underwent a rigorous evaluation of our pay data and practices and committed to staying accountable through ongoing pay equity analyses.

Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion encompasses our entire team — from the people who work with us to the people who invest in us. That’s why we’re proud to partner with an array of world-class investors, including Gaingels and Flucas Ventures, which focus on funding companies that demonstrate a deep commitment to DEI.

“We know that the more data we have, the better our insights. The same is true of diversity and inclusion — Databricks thrives by including the widest possible diversity of backgrounds, experiences and viewpoints.”

— Ali Ghodsi, Co-founder and CEO, Databricks

Our communities

We believe empowering our employees is the key to unlocking our full potential. Our vibrant Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are employee-led collectives that play a critical role in creating an inclusive and supportive environment at Databricks. These diverse communities of employees and allies create space for connection and celebration and bring awareness to meaningful issues.
