The opportunity

As a Senior Staff Software Engineer on the Agentic Applications team, you will be the hands-on technical lead for how Databricks quotes, orders, bills and recognizes revenue. Your core function is to build bespoke first-party, agents-first applications built on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.

What you'll do

  • Own the agentic architecture for Quote-to-Cash. Define and lead the target: technical architecture across Configure-Price-Quote, deal management, ordering, subscriptions, investments, billing and revenue recognition. Drive the move from vendor-configured workflows to first-party, AI-native applications built on Databricks Apps, Lakebase, Unity Catalog and Mosaic AI.

  • Build production agents that sellers and Deal Desk trust. Design and ship: LLM-powered agents for deal guidance, quote generation and summarization, multi-option proposals, approval insights, and pricing and discount recommendations. Work directly with sales, Deal Desk and Finance to define what "good" looks like for each workflow.

  • Make agent reliability a core system property. Own the eval and quality: system for this domain: per-workflow quality criteria, offline eval suites, LLM-as-judge and human-labeled benchmarks, behavioral regression testing in CI/CD, online tracing, and feedback loops that improve agents based on what users approve, edit and reject.

  • Design human-in-the-loop controls for revenue-critical decisions. Build the: separation between what an agent proposes and what gets committed, plus diff-based review, approval routing, audit logging, and policy guardrails. Together these decide when an agent can act on its own and when a person has to approve, especially for pricing, discounting, contract terms and order creation.

  • Treat systems of record as agent tools. Architect tool-calling and MCP-style: interfaces that give agents governed, run-time access to pricing, product catalog, order, contract, subscription and billing data. Follow single-source-of-truth principles across CRM, ERP and billing systems.

  • Protect financial integrity at scale. Make sure agent-assisted quoting and: ordering produce accurate, compliance-grade outputs downstream: order validation, billing, invoicing and revenue recognition, where errors directly affect financial reporting.

What they're looking for

  • Lead the migration path. Act as the bridge between today's production quoting: platform and the target agentic architecture. Sequence the migration so the business keeps scaling without disruption, and decide what to retire, rebuild or wrap.
  • Raise the engineering bar. Lead architecture reviews, establish design: patterns for agents (orchestration, memory, retrieval, tool use, multi-agent coordination), and mentor senior and mid-level engineers on production-grade agentic engineering.
  • Earn cross-functional credibility. Partner with Finance, Deal Desk, Sales: Ops, Legal and the broader Platform engineering org. Turn complex commercial processes into clear technical roadmaps and measurable business outcomes.
  • + years of software engineering experience, with a clear track record of: technical leadership and ownership of large-scale production systems.
