About Us:

The Web Engineering team at Databricks builds and owns the public-facing web experiences that represent Databricks to the world, across databricks.com, the blog, landing pages, hubs, microsites, and event properties. 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 Sr. Staff Software Engineer, Marketing Agents on the Web Engineering team, you will own the architecture and delivery of agents that transform how Databricks creates, publishes, and ships for the web, shifting content operations from a linear, engineering-dependent process to an orchestrated, continuously improving system. You will define how LLM-powered agents participate reliably across marketing content workflows, set the engineering standards the team builds on, and ensure agent output is robust, observable, and production-ready at scale.

The impact you’ll have:
  • Own the architecture and delivery of agentic workflows that enable marketing to self-serve content creation and publishing across blogs, landing pages, microsites, and social, working directly with marketing stakeholders to understand their workflows, define quality criteria, and build tools they trust and use 
  • Partner with the Web Platform Staff Engineer on CMS architecture to ensure the content model supports agent read and write workflows and that agent-generated content is structured for AI-driven discovery at production scale 
  • Build and own the agent reliability system for this domain: define output quality criteria per workflow, implement eval suites and behavioral regression testing, and build feedback loops that improve agent output over time based on what marketers approve, edit, and reject 
  • Architect human in the loop review as a system property across the full publishing pipeline: proposal and commit separation, diff-based review UI, approval routing, notification system, and audit logging that govern when agents publish autonomously and when human judgment is required 
  • Encode brand, legal, and compliance constraints as enforceable guardrails within agent workflows, ensuring agents operate within defined boundaries without requiring human intervention on every decision 
  • Partner with the Web Products Staff Engineer to ensure agent-generated content meets surface quality and brand standards across databricks.com 
  • Mentor and grow the Senior Engineer on the team, setting the standard for production-grade agentic engineering at Databricks
What we look for:
  • 12+ years of software engineering experience with a clear track record of technical ownership on production systems 
  • Hands-on experience building and operating LLM-powered systems in production, and a strong instinct for designing quality and evaluation frameworks for probabilistic or generative outputs
  • Strong understanding of human in the loop system design: approval workflows, review interfaces, audit logging, and guardrail implementation 
  • Deep understanding of how agents interact with content systems, publishing pipelines, and web infrastructure including CMS, deployment pipelines, and edge delivery 
  • Ability to work directly with non-engineering stakeholders to translate workflow requirements into agent architecture 
  • Experience mentoring engineers and elevating technical execution across a team

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
