About the job
The Web Platform team at Databricks is rebuilding the public-facing web experiences from the ground up, making them AI-native from the start and pioneering an agentic SDLC. As a Staff Software Engineer on this team, you will own the platform layer that others build upon, including the web framework, design system, CMS, infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, AI-enabled translation, and SDLC agents. This is a unique opportunity to shape the architecture of a web platform for an AI-native world, partnering with technical leaders and setting the standard for AI-native platform engineering.
Responsibilities
- Define the technical roadmap for the web platform, including component systems, rendering architecture, CMS, CI/CD pipelines, and developer tooling, with an AI-native focus.
- Influence technical leaders across the organization on shared architectural decisions and contribute to the AI-native engineering north star.
- Pioneer an AI-native SDLC by applying agentic unlocks across code generation, testing, review, deployment, and production monitoring.
- Define evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and feedback loops for reliable, production-grade agentic workflows.
- Mentor and grow engineers on the team, establishing standards for AI-native thinking and execution.
Requirements
- 12+ years of software engineering experience with a strong track record of technical leadership.
- 3+ years of engineering leadership experience, serving as the technical owner for team software systems.
- Proven track record as a technical leader of a web platform, with ownership across design systems, rendering frameworks, and understanding of edge delivery, CI/CD, and infrastructure.
- Deep hands-on expertise across the full web stack, including React, TypeScript, and Node.js.
- Demonstrated ability to make and execute multi-layer architectural decisions on a live production platform.
- Experience sequencing and executing frontend framework migrations without disrupting production.
- A clear point of view on AI-native software development and a track record of building toward it.
