Build AI-powered internal applications on our global Databricks platform.

Are you an engineer who enjoys solving operational challenges using AI, automation, and modern application development? We are looking for an AI Solutions Engineer who works closely with business teams to deliver AI-powered applications that improve how work is done across the organization.

In this role, you combine strong software engineering skills with an AI-first approach. You leverage AI coding agents as a force multiplier while maintaining ownership of the architecture, quality, scalability, and user adoption. You build practical applications quickly, integrate them into our global data platform, and continuously improve them based on real-world usage.

Your impact

As an AI Solutions Engineer, you work at the intersection of business operations, application engineering, and AI enablement. You collaborate with departments such as Finance, Sales, Marketing, and HR to understand workflows, bottlenecks, and operational pain points.

You build applications and automations on our Databricks-centric platform, using shared governance, data products, and AI capabilities as core building blocks. You contribute to a connected ecosystem where internal tools are scalable, secure, and reusable across regions and teams.

You simplify operational complexity by identifying repetitive tasks, fragmented processes, or disconnected tools and replacing them with targeted AI-powered workflows, internal applications, and intelligent automations that employees actually use.

You work in a pragmatic engineering environment where delivering value quickly is essential. This involves building lightweight applications using technologies such as Databricks Apps, Streamlit, Gradio, or FastAPI, while leveraging AI agents to accelerate development cycles and reduce delivery time from weeks to days.

You collaborate with the Platform, Data, and Reliability teams to ensure solutions comply with engineering standards regarding governance, observability, scalability, and operational reliability.

What you will do

• Work closely with business teams to understand operational workflows, pain points, and opportunities for automation
• Deliver internal tools, AI-powered applications, and process digitization initiatives with a focus on usability and adoption
• Build solutions on the Databricks ecosystem using notebooks, jobs, Delta tables, Unity Catalog, Lakebase, and Vector Search
• Develop lightweight data applications using Streamlit, Gradio, FastAPI, Databricks Apps, or similar Python-native tools
• Guide AI coding agents to generate, refine, and validate production-ready code while maintaining engineering quality standards
• Translate business requirements into practical technical solutions that can be delivered quickly and refined continuously
• Create or customize AI agents, orchestration workflows, and intelligent automation capabilities
• Improve operational workflows using automation platforms such as Microsoft Power Automate or similar tools
• Implement observability and monitoring capabilities using Grafana and industry-standard telemetry practices
• Identify issues in production, resolve them quickly, and continuously improve solutions based on user feedback
• Collaborate with Platform, Data, and Engineering teams to ensure applications integrate with the broader platform architecture
• Contribute reusable patterns, workflows, and engineering practices that improve delivery speed across teams
