In the posting’s own words

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.

How this page was made

An automated read of a public job posting, fetched August 24, 2026 and last changed by Databricks on August 18, 2026. Every list above is pulled from the posting’s own sentences — nothing rewritten, nothing added, no judgment about the role or the company. Counts and seniority are read off the text by rule, so they can be wrong where the posting is unusual. The original is the only thing that binds. Openings close without warning; check the source before spending an evening on it.
