About the job
Databricks is transforming how it builds and operates People Technology, moving from traditional SaaS configuration toward an AI-native, agentic stack. You will be the technical anchor of the People Tech pod, driving the architectural shift from workflow automation to autonomous, multi-agent systems that power HR, recruiting, workforce analytics, and employee experience at scale.

- Integrate People Tech systems as agent-accessible tools and data sources.
- Set the technical bar for the pod by reviewing designs, establishing engineering standards, and leading architectural reviews.
- Influence peers and stakeholders by translating agentic capability into business outcomes and mentoring engineers on AI-first thinking.
Requirements
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years building production LLM or agentic applications.
- Deep fluency in Python and experience with agentic frameworks like LangChain/LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or Semantic Kernel.
- Strong command of enterprise integration patterns, including REST/GraphQL APIs, event-driven architecture, and programmatic connection to SaaS HR/HCM platforms.
