Staff Software Engineer AI-Native Web Platform

GAQ327R228

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 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 youll 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 .
• 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
