Databricks is hiring a Senior Staff Applied AI Engineer to own context retrieval for its agents across enterprise SaaS data. The role builds a retrieval stack from scratch — query and content understanding, indexing, hybrid retrieval, ranking, evaluation — plus search subagents that plan multi-hop searches and judge whether retrieved context suffices. It spans structured and unstructured assets and connector work. The posting asks for 10+ years of software engineering, deep information retrieval experience, RAG and agentic systems work, and relevance evaluation. It is an onsite, zero-to-one technical leadership role.
