Performance Qa Team Lead in Belgrade

P-1439 As Applied ML/AI Engineer at Databricks, you will define and create the Agentic Machine Learning revolution. You will help world’s largest companies build and deploy massive classical machine learning solutions (such as personalized recommendations, fraud detection, dynamic pricing, forecasting) fully using Databricks’ agents and harnesses. After 30 years of painfully slow progress, expensive knowledge acquisition and tedious processes in classical ML, the agentic era has ushered innovation, scale and visibility for all: from the most junior data scientists and machine learning engineers to the world class experts. You will work on Databricks’ Genie Code, an agent and an ML “exoskeleton” that is authoring ML, training and deploying models, monitoring and self-healing production ML, all at the top-expert level. Additionally, you will develop ML solutions that under the hood address the most pressing questions non-technical business people have today: predictive and what-if questions. Your work is a top priority for Databricks and you will report to a Principal Software Engineer (a Director level position). The impact you will have: Build agentic end-to-end systems in a small, highly international team of experienced engineers in a flat and agile organization. Build solutions for people like you: software engineers, ML engineers, data engineers, data scientists and MLOps engineers. Own our applied ML investment by engaging with engineering and product teams across the company. Drive the development and deployment of state-of-the-art ML/AI models and systems that directly impact the capabilities and performance of Databricks’ products, infrastructure, and services. Architect and implement robust, scalable ML infrastructure, including model training and serving components to support seamless integration of AI/ML models into production environments. Work on novel forecasting techniques. Possibilities to contribute to the broader AI community by presenting a

Collaborate closely with Search and Infrastructure teams to ensure the reliable, high-quality ingestion and processing of billions of web pages. Architect and implement fullstack features and scalable distributed systems that handle high-load and real-time data operations. Rapidly iterate, experiment with novel approaches, and continuously enhance system performance, usability, and reliability. Qualifications Minimum of 5 years of software development experience, with strong knowledge of data structures and algorithms in at least one of the following languages: Python, C++, Rust, or Go. Experience with large-scale web crawlers is highly desirable. Proven experience building, deploying, and optimizing high-load, distributed, and hardware-adjacent services. Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure, with hands-on experience in Kubernetes (K8s) and AWS. Demonstrated passion for writing clean, efficient, and scalable systems.

P-1416 At Databricks, we are passionate about helping data teams solve the world's toughest problems — from making the next mode of transportation a reality to accelerating the development of medical breakthroughs. We do this by building and running the world's best data and AI infrastructure platform so our customers can use deep data insights to improve their business. Founded by engineers, Databricks has started a multi-year journey to build the best Data Intelligence Platform. For this we are building on top of a great foundation but our goal is to go further to build dramatically better products. We want to revisit every component to provide our customers with the fastest, easiest to use and most secure data platform for all their data workloads. As a software engineer, you will join as a founding member of not only the Belgrade site, but really as a founding team for our multi-year journey to achieve our Lakehouse vision. You will be involved in the entire development cycle and exemplify all core Databricks values. The impact you'll have: Our backend teams span many domains across our essential service platforms. For instance, you might work on challenges such as: Problems that span from product to infrastructure including: distributed systems, at-scale service architecture and monitoring, workflow orchestration, and developer experience. Build reliable, secure and high performance services and client libraries for storing and accessing humongous amount of data on cloud storage backends, e.g., AWS S3, GCS, Azure Blob Store. Develop product features that empower our customers to easily store and access their data. What we look for: BS (or higher) in Computer Science, or a related field 8+ years of production level experience in one of: Java, Scala, C++, or similar language Experience developing large-scale distributed systems Experience working on a SaaS platform or with Service-Oriented Architectures Knowledge of SQL About Databricks Databricks is the Data and
