We do this by building and operating the world’s best data and AI infrastructure platform so our customers can turn deep data insights into business impact.

- Engineered Reliability: Drive rapid, iterative backend development while upholding strict quality, safety, throughput, and reliability standards for agentic-based systems.
- Orchestrate Complex Workflows: Design state-machine and agentic workflows that seamlessly evolve from human-in-the-loop validation to fully automated execution.
- Enterprise-Grade Observability: Implement robust backend tracing, logging, transparency, and safe execution including instant rollback mechanisms for critical AI-driven business decisions.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as a technical liaison between CXI, Product, Platform Engineering, and business stakeholders across various organizations to unblock dependencies and align roadmaps.
- Raise the Bar: Set a high engineering bar for backend code quality, system performance, and architectural maintainability in line with Databricks standards.
- Mentor and Cultivate: Mentor engineers and subject matter experts (SMEs) across Software, Support, and internal operations teams.
- BS or higher degree in Computer Science or a related field.
- Technical leadership experience in large projects similar to those described, including automation tooling, distributed systems, and API’s
