The Software Engineer – New Grad (2027 Start) role

New grads join a hub office (SF, Mountain View or Bellevue) at L3 with a manager, a dedicated mentor and an onboarding buddy for the first six months, hired across backend, full stack and infrastructure teams. Applicants pick a single location.

Structured cohort: new grads join a cohort with a dedicated mentor, a manager, and an onboarding buddy for the first six months; the 2026 cycle hired in four locations across all teams.

Worth knowing: The laggard of this cycle: as of Oct 9, 2026 Databricks has posted 2027 SWE interns and APM/PM new grads but no 2027 new-grad SWE req, even though last cycle’s req opened Aug 8, 2025.
