About Us:
The Web Platform team at Databricks builds and owns the public-facing web experiences that represent Databricks to the world. We are rebuilding the platform from the ground up, AI-native from the start, and pioneering an agentic SDLC as our operating model.
The Role:
As Sr. Staff Software Engineer on the Web Platform team, reporting to the Director of Engineering, you will own the platform layer that the rest of the team builds on: web framework, design system, CMS, infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, AI-enabled translation, and SDLC agents.
This is a rare opportunity to design a web platform for an AI-native world from the ground up. The north star architecture is being defined now and you will be a primary author of it. You will partner with technical leaders across web and marketing engineering, and set the standard for what AI-native platform engineering looks like in practice.
The impact you’ll have:
- Define the technical roadmap for the web platform: component systems, rendering architecture, CMS, CI/CD pipelines, and developer tooling, built AI-native from the start.
- Influence technical leaders across the organization on shared architectural decisions and contribute to the broader north star for AI-native engineering at Databricks.
- Pioneer an AI-native SDLC by applying agentic unlocks across code generation, testing, review, deployment, and production monitoring.
- Define the evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and feedback loops that make agentic workflows reliable and production-grade.
- Mentor and grow engineers on the team, setting the standard for what AI-native thinking and execution looks like in practice.
What we look for:
- 12+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record of technical leadership and impact.
- 3+ years of engineering leadership experience, serving as the technical owner for the software systems owned by your team.
- Proven track record as a technical leader of a web platform, with direct ownership across design systems, rendering frameworks, and understanding of edge delivery, CI/CD and infrastructure
- Deep hands-on expertise across the full web stack like React, TypeScript, Node.js.
- Demonstrated ability to make and execute multi-layer architectural decisions on a live production platform
- Experience sequencing and executing frontend framework migrations without disrupting production
- A clear point of view on AI-native software development and a track record of building toward it
- Familiarity with agentic systems or LLM-powered tooling is a strong plus.
- Strong ability to influence technical leaders and drive alignment across engineering and business stakeholders
- History of driving technical transformation with rigor and execution discipline: stack consolidation, or platform-level standards adoption at scale
