Databricks is transforming how it builds and operates People Technology — moving from traditional SaaS configuration toward an AI-native, agentic stack. You'll 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. This is a rare opportunity to reimagine a critical enterprise domain from the ground up using the very data and AI platform Databricks sells to the world.
What it asks for · 5
- Deep fluency in Python and experience with agentic frameworks — LangChain/LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, or similar.
- Experience with data platforms — Databricks, Spark, or equivalent — and building AI applications on top of lakehouse or warehouse architectures.
- Track record as a technical lead: driving architectural decisions, writing RFCs, and raising the quality bar across a team without relying on management authority.
- Prior experience in People Tech, HR tech, or internal tooling domains.
- Familiarity with Workday, Greenhouse or similar enterprise HR platforms — especially via API or integration layer.
Also a plus
- Prior experience in People Tech, HR tech, or internal tooling domains.
- Familiarity with Workday, Greenhouse or similar enterprise HR platforms — especially via API or integration layer.
- Experience evaluating and red-teaming LLM agents for safety, reliability, and correctness in sensitive business contexts.
What the job covers
- Architect and build agentic systems that automate and augment People Tech workflows — onboarding, offboarding, comp analysis, policy Q&A, HR service delivery — using LLM orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, or equivalent).
- Define the agentic platform strategy for the pod: agent design patterns, tool-calling conventions, retrieval-augmented pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and human-in-the-loop guardrails.
- Integrate People Tech systems (Workday, Greenhouse, ADP etc.) as agent-accessible tools and data sources via Databricks Unity Catalog and MCP-style interfaces.
- Set the technical bar for the pod — reviewing designs, establishing engineering standards, and leading architectural reviews across the People Tech roadmap.
- Influence peers and stakeholders: translate agentic capability into business outcomes for People, Legal, and Finance partners, and mentor engineers in the pod on AI-first thinking.
