This role is a hands-on development position on the Platform Engineering team: you’ll build full-stack features, ship apps on Databricks, and extend our tooling’s AI-assisted capabilities\nThis is a delivery-focused role for someone comfortable moving across a full-stack surface - frontend, backend, and applied AI - without needing deep specialization in any one layer yet. You’ll work alongside senior engineers who provide context and direction, and you’re expected to carry assigned work from ticket to production with minimal hand-holding.\nWhat You'll Do\nFull-Stack Development\nBuild and maintain frontend features using React and Vite, working from design and product requirements to shipped UI\nDevelop backend services and APIs on Node.js with Fastify, including authentication, data access, and integration endpoints\nWrite clean, typed TypeScript/JavaScript across the stack and participate in code review\nContribute to shared component and service patterns used across PE’s internal platforms\nDatabricks Apps\nBuild and deploy applications on Databricks Apps, including data-backed workflows and internal tooling\nWork with Databricks-hosted data sources and jobs to power application features\nAI-Assisted Tooling\nSupport and extend AI-assisted features within PE’s tooling - retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, vector search, and agentic workflows\nImplement and consume MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers as part of integration and tooling work\nContribute to LangGraph-based agent flows under the direction of senior engineers\nDevOps & Cloud Infrastructure\nProvision and manage cloud infrastructure as code (Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation, etc) supporting PE’s platforms\nBuild and maintain GitHub Actions workflows and contribute to CI/CD pipelines across the team’s repositories\nDeploy and operate workloads on AWS; work with core services (compute, networking, IAM) in a delivery context\nImplement and maintain monitoring, logging, and observability for services you build\nParticipate in operational support for the systems you build\nWhat You'll Bring\nEducation\nBachelor’s degree required (Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field; equivalent experience considered)\nRequired\n2-4 years of professional software development experience\nFull-stack development: TypeScript/JavaScript, React, Vite, Node.js, and Fastify (or a comparable Node framework)\nWorking experience with GitHub, including Git workflows and GitHub Actions\nCloud infrastructure experience with AWS preferred, including basic infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation, etc)\nCI/CD pipeline experience - building, maintaining, or troubleshooting automated build and deployment pipelines\nSome hands-on exposure to Databricks, or comparable data-platform experience with the ability to ramp quickly\nSome exposure to AI/LLM application development - RAG, vector databases, MCP, or agent frameworks like LangGraph - with a genuine interest in growing this skill set\nBehaviors\nExecutes assigned work to completion - raises blockers early rather than letting work stall silently\nComfortable working across a broad technical surface without deep specialization in every layer\nAsks good questions and learns quickly from senior engineers\nDocuments what they build - code comments, READMEs, and short decision notes\nPreferred\nProduction experience with Databricks Apps specifically, rather than just Databricks notebooks/jobs\nHands-on experience building or consuming MCP servers\nExperience with vector databases or embedding-based semantic search\nFamiliarity with Azure as a secondary cloud\nExposure to container workflows - Docker, ECR, or Kubernetes basics\nWhat You'll Get\nCompetitive compensation and benefits package\nFlexible work options\nEducational assistance\nWellness and mental health programs\nPaid parental leave\nEmployee referral program\nVolunteer time off\nLearning and development programs\nOffice amenities and perks\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nAll qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment and will not be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry, sex (including gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, and/or gender identity), age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, and/or any other basis protected by applicable federal, state or local law.We are an Equal Opportunity Employer, including disability and protected veteran status.
