About the Role

GAQ427R224

We're hiring an AI Automation Engineer to build the next generation of IT automations to improve the employee experience at Databricks.

You'll be building production-grade AI agents and automation services that understand employee requests, retrieve enterprise context, reason across systems, invoke tools and APIs, and take action safely. The goal isn't to automate existing workflows the same way we've done it for the past decade. It's to reimagine how employees interact with IT through intelligent, contextual, and increasingly agentic experiences and to do it on Databricks.
