• Contribute to and review code via GitHub, managing branches, PRs and merge conflicts
• Support Databricks development and testing practices (Asset Bundles, CLI, Connect, pytest)
• Provide day‑to‑day technical leadership for a small team (task breakdown, estimation, unblocking)

Requirements

• Strong hands‑on experience delivering GenAI solutions in production
• Deep experience with Databricks, particularly GenAI and AI platform features
• Advanced Python development skills and experience with LLM libraries
• Solid understanding of common GenAI use cases (RAG, agents, evaluation, orchestration)
