You lead AI PS initiatives, design reusable engagement models for global repeatability, own OKRs for AI-services led accounts, and represent Databricks as a thought leader in AI/ML.

The Work

You will embed directly with clients as both technologist and trusted advisor. You will partner with stakeholders to define use cases, rapidly prototype, and deploy agentic workflows that are robust, secure, and operational in complex enterprise domains.

Responsibilities

• Design enterprise-ready AI agents encompassing retrieval, orchestration, policy-based routing, tool invocation, evaluation harnesses, and lifecycle observability.

• Architect AI-native solutions on Databricks (Mosaic AI, Vector Search, Model Serving, MLflow) with Unity Catalog governance, scaling reusable patterns across customer engagements.

• Establish Lakehouse data foundations (Delta Lake, DLT, Unity Catalog) that power production AI across customer portfolios.

• Develop abstraction layers across AI providers (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, etc.) to enable seamless integration.

• Leverage containerization, microservices, serverless, and event-driven architectures to deliver scalable AI-native systems.

• Tailor and deploy agentic applications across industries such as finance, healthcare, and retail.

• Conduct design workshops, proofs of concept, and code-with sessions with client stakeholders.

• Define and use metrics to measure agent accuracy, latency, safety, and cost effectiveness

• Process large-scale distributed datasets on the Databricks Intelligence Platform with Apache Spark™.

• Integrate LLM solutions with APIs, model monitoring, and prompt management.

This role requires in-office presence in the local ATC office 3 days per week.

Here's What You Need:

• Bachelor’s degree or completion of a college program in a related discipline

• 10 years of experience in Python, Java, or equivalent. Comfortable with evaluation tooling, logging, monitoring, and observability.

• 4 years of experience deploying and operating production systems with CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and observability tooling. Practical MLOps and LLMOps experience: CI/CD across the ML and LLM lifecycle covering model training, evaluation harnesses, model serving, monitoring, and prompt management.

• 5 years of experience on Databricks and large-scale big data projects (Delta Lake, DLT, Apache Spark, Unity Catalog). You've also built API layers that expose data and AI/ML capabilities to enterprise systems.

• 1 year experience in designing and shipping agentic AI solutions in production and experience with agentic orchestration tools (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or similar). Hands on with Databricks AI tooling: Mosaic AI, Vector Search, Model Serving, MLflow, and Unity Catalog governance. You've built RAG and multi-agent systems on the Databricks Intelligence Platform.

• Experience working with AI platforms across OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, and open-source models.

English is required for this position as this role will be aligned to multi-national teams where English is the common language across our Global Enterprise. Due to the significant high volume of interactions with these English-speaking multi-national teams, which is inherent to this position, it is not possible to reorganize the company's activities to avoid this requirement.
