Your primary mission is to eliminate manual toil and build scalable, AI-powered automation that makes asset operations fast, accurate, and effortless as Databricks scales past 14,000 employees.\nYour initial focus will be on IT asset management workflows: automating new hire laptop provisioning, SaaS license lifecycle management, asset data reconciliation, and hardware recovery. Over time, you will expand your automation footprint across IT Support and Operations, including IT support workflows, AV/VC and event support, and incident response management.\nThis role requires a strong automation-first mindset, the ability to learn new domains quickly, and comfort building with AI/LLM tools. You will report to the Senior Manager of IT Asset Management.\nThe Impact You Will Have\nNew hire laptop provisioning: Build end-to-end automation for assigning, configuring, and shipping laptops to new hires, targeting a 75% reduction in manual ticket toil.\nSaaS license lifecycle: Automate license consumption monitoring, inactivity-based seat clawbacks, renewal alerting, and cost optimization workflows to help drive $1.5M+ in annual savings and cost avoidance.\nAsset data quality: Automate CMDB/inventory reconciliation, deduplication, and multi-device detection to bring asset records to audit-ready accuracy.\nOffboarding asset recovery: Automate tracking and recovery of hardware from exiting employees, reducing loss and improving chain-of-custody compliance.\n Broader IT Ops automation (over time): Extend automation into IT support, AV/VC and event support, and incident response management as the ITAM automation foundation matures.\nWhat We Are Looking For\nCore Qualifications\n5+ years of experience in IT systems engineering, automation engineering, or a related technical role.\nProven track record of delivering complex, multi-system automation projects with measurable business impact.\nStrong automation-first mindset: you see a manual process and immediately think about how to build a scalable, reliable automated solution.\nAbility to operate with minimal guidance, take ownership of ambiguous problems, and deliver consistently high-quality work in a fast-paced environment.\nWe value a great generalist who can learn a domain quickly over a narrow specialist. You should be comfortable ramping into unfamiliar systems and business processes and building effective automation without needing deep prior domain expertise.\nAI and LLM Automation\nHands-on experience building workflows, agents, or tools powered by large language models (e.g., Claude, GPT, Gemini, or similar).\nAbility to design AI-powered automation that handles unstructured inputs, makes decisions, and integrates with enterprise systems.\nExperience with prompt engineering, agent frameworks, or AI-assisted code generation in a production or operational context.\nComfort evaluating and selecting the right AI approach for a given problem, whether that is a deterministic rule, an LLM call, or a hybrid.\nAutomation and Integration\nExperience building and troubleshooting integrations between IT platforms such as ITSM tools (FreshService, ServiceNow, or similar), identity platforms, and asset management systems.\nExperience designing automation for IT operational processes: onboarding/offboarding, access provisioning, license management, asset tracking, or similar.\nFamiliarity with REST APIs, scripting (Python, Bash, or similar), and the ability to connect systems that were not designed to talk to each other.\nExperience with data pipelines, ETL, or data quality workflows is a plus.\nCollaboration and Communication\nStrong cross-functional collaboration skills. Comfortable working with IT operations, security, procurement, finance, and vendor partners.\nEffective at documenting solutions and training peers on new tools and processes.\nClear communicator who can translate complex technical work into business terms for non-technical stakeholders.\nNice to Have\nExperience with Databricks, data lakehouse architectures, or SQL-based analytics platforms.\nExperience with IT asset management or SaaS management tools (e.g., Oomnitza, Productiv, Zluri, or similar).\nExperience with no-code/low-code automation platforms (e.g., Tines, Workato, or similar).\nFamiliarity with ITIL processes or IT service management frameworks.\nLocation\nUS-based, West Coast preferred.\nPay Range Transparency\nDatabricks is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices.
