📄 Job Description
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">SLSQ327R637</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">At Databricks, we are passionate about enabling GTM Analytics Engineering builds the internal data and AI platform that Databricks' own go-to-market organization runs on — used by <strong>6,000+ field users</strong> across sales, strategy, and operations. We own the number one Databricks App, the Genie agents, which are powered through the lakehouse (Unity Catalog bronze/silver/gold) beneath them. We are "Customer Zero" for Databricks: we adopt the newest Databricks and AI tooling first, in production, and pave the path for the rest of the company.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">We're in the middle of a step-change — moving the app from AI/BI and Genie experience to an <strong>AI-native, genie-centric platform</strong> that delivers <em>prescriptive</em> recommendations (not just descriptive reports), built to scale for the next 3–5 years. We build with AI in the loop end to end, and a large and growing share of our code is AI-generated and human-reviewed.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The role</span></h2> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">As an AI Engineer you'll help build the intelligence and application layers of that platform: Genie-powered analytics agents, LLM-driven workflows (feedback analysis, "what's new" enablement, BRD-to-plan automation), and the Databricks Apps and Lakebase services that serve them. You'll work alongside senior engineers, and you'll be expected to lean on AI coding tools heavily and thoughtfully from day one. This is a high-ownership, fast-shipping team where early-career engineers get real surface area.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">What you'll do</span></h2> <ul> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Build and ship features for AI-powered surfaces: Genie analytics agents, LLM-assisted feedback and enablement workflows, and in-app intelligence inside the GTM Hub.</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Develop and integrate <strong>agentic workflows</strong> — prompts, tools/MCP integrations, retrieval, and evaluation — that turn business questions into reliable, grounded answers.</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Write Python and SQL against our Databricks lakehouse (Unity Catalog, Delta) and <strong>Lakebase (Postgres)</strong> services that back the apps.</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Use AI coding tools (Claude Code, agentic skills) as a core part of your workflow, and help build the reusable <strong>skills and harnesses</strong> that make the whole team faster.</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Contribute to evaluation and quality: help measure and improve the accuracy of our AI outputs (eval sets, scorecards, regression checks).</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Partner with data engineers, app engineers, and strategy/ops stakeholders to take work from idea → ticket → PR → production.</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Write clean, well-documented, tested code and participate in code review (human and AI-assisted).</span></li> </ul> <h2><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">What we look for</span></h2> <ul> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>7+ years</strong> of software and AI engineering related experience.</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Solid fundamentals in <strong>Python</strong> and <strong>SQL</strong>.</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Hands-on exposure to <strong>LLMs / generative AI</strong> — prior work building with APIs, prompts, RAG, Knowledge graphs & agents.</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Genuine fluency with AI developer tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor) and a desire to push how far AI-assisted engineering can go.</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Strong problem-solving, curiosity, and a bias to ship and iterate;
