Description
As a Staff Software Engineer on the Web Platform team at Databricks, 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.
Your impact will be significant, with responsibilities including defining the technical roadmap for the web platform, influencing technical leaders across the organization, pioneering an AI-native SDLC, and mentoring and growing engineers on the team.
To succeed in this role, you will need 12+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record of technical leadership and impact. You should also have 3+ years of engineering leadership experience, serving as the technical owner for the software systems owned by your team.
Additionally, you should have 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. You should also have deep hands-on expertise across the full web stack like React, TypeScript, Node.js.
A clear point of view on AI-native software development and a track record of building toward it is also essential. 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 is also required. History of driving technical transformation with rigor and execution discipline: stack consolidation, or platform-level standards adoption at scale is also necessary.
