About the job
About the Role
As one of the first engineers in the NYC Engineering office, you’ll be part of a small, nimble team innovating to build new products from the ground up. This is a true 0-to-1 environment, combining the excitement of a startup with the resources of a tech leader like Databricks. You will leverage the power of Databricks in data & AI to deliver vertical AI applications for both technical and business users.
What You'll Do
- Create novel, never-seen-before interfaces for GenAI agents that manage complex workflows while keeping the human in the loop through inspectability and transparency.
- Partner closely with product management, design, and other engineering teams to build intuitive and extensible products that drive user & business growth.
- Lead by example with hands-on front-end and full-stack software development while working with customers directly to create dynamic, user-centric experiences.
- Enable mechanisms that can drive product-led growth, through seamless onboarding and sharing capabilities.
- Direct the future of intuitive agentic applications at Databricks, in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
What We Look For
- 10 years of experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript or similar technologies.
- Demonstrated product mindset with the ability to translate ambiguous customer problems into scrappy MVPs and iterate quickly based on data and user feedback.
- High ownership and bias for action in 0→1 environments.
- Strong ability to collaborate across product, engineering, and design teams.
- Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, or VueJs/Ember).
- Familiarity with server-side web technologies (e.g., Node.js or similar), SQL, and Spark.
