The goal isn't to automate existing workflows the same way we've done it for the past decade. It's to reimagine how employees interact with IT through intelligent, contextual, and increasingly agentic experiences and to do it on Databricks.\nWhat you will do\nBuild AI agents and automations: Design, deploy, and run AI agents that support all of our employees. The agents interpret natural-language requests, gather context, select tools, execute actions, and communicate outcomes.\nMaintain MCP servers across our AI tools portfolio.\nBuild agentic workflows that decompose goals into steps, handle failures, pause for human approval as needed, and resume their workflows.\nGround agents in trusted internal knowledge (policies, runbooks, system documentation, SOPs, etc).\nTurn high-volume support CUJs into self-service experiences: Identify repetitive, high-friction IT interactions and convert them into reliable AI automation experiences.\nInstrument AI automations with logs, metrics, and feedback loops.\nDesign and implement AI automations with identity governance, tools RBAC, human-in-the-loop approvals where applicable, audit trails, and failure handling.\nCreate shared automation infrastructure (credential vaults, event ingestion, scheduling, approval workflows, cache/state stores) that other teams can build on.\nWork with IT Support, Employee Experience, Security, IAM, Infrastructure, and Engineering to identify automation opportunities and take solutions from prototype to production.\nWrite and maintain high-quality technical/engineering documentation that clearly communicates system designs, operational procedures, and architectural decisions.\nWhat we are looking for\nProficiency in Python.\nExperience with Git-based development, automated testing, and CI/CD.\nStrong experience with REST APIs, OAuth2/authentication frameworks, event-driven integrations, and enterprise system integrations.\nShipped production LLM-powered applications or AI agents.\nExperience with agent patterns: tool/function calling, multi-step workflows, context management, RAG, structured outputs, and plan decomposition.\nUnderstanding of LLM failure modes: hallucination, incorrect tool use, ambiguous intent, prompt injection, excessive permissions, and non-deterministic behavior.\nExperience evaluating and improving AI systems using automated evals, traces, test datasets, human feedback, or similar approaches.\nAbility to translate ambiguous employee friction problems into simple, reliable technical solutions.\nStrong judgment around security, privacy, least privilege, and safe automation in an enterprise environment.\nStrong collaboration and communication skills. You will work cross-functionally to plan, design, and implement automation together.\nExperience with automation or integration platforms (Tines, MuleSoft, Workato, etc.).\nExperience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) server development.\nNice to have\nExperience building agents on Databricks (Agent Bricks) or with frameworks such as OpenAI Agents SDK or LangGraph/LangChain.\nExperience with MLflow tracing/evaluation, vector search, and LLM observability.\nExperience integrating IT platforms: Okta/Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Jira, Slack, Jamf, GitHub, Workday, or SaaS administration APIs.\nFamiliarity with identity lifecycle, access management, device management, and software provisioning.\nAbout Databricks\nDatabricks is the Data and AI company.
