Job Summary
We are seeking a highly experienced Senior AI Engineer with strong Databricks expertise to lead the design, architecture, and implementation of scalable AI and data solutions. This role goes beyond development and requires ownership of end-to-end solution architecture within the Databricks Lakehouse ecosystem, ensuring high performance, scalability, and enterprise readiness.

• Hands-on Azure experience (Azure ML, Azure Functions, Azure AI services)

• Sees themselves as a human interface to AI tools, not in competition with them
• Recognizes their own capacity is multiplied by AI and leans into it rather than tries to control it
• Thinks in pipelines, ecosystems, and integrations - not one-off models
• Understands most organizations are barely scratching the surface of what AI can do, and wants to change that here
• Walks in excited (and a little terrified) about what AI can do, and ready to build


Soft Skills

• Strong communicator across technical and business stakeholders
• Collaborative; works well in a small, fast-moving team
