Staff Production Engineer Public Sector Jobs

P-1603 About Databricks At Databricks, we are passionate about enabling data teams to 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 — and customer obsessed — we leap at every opportunity to solve technical challenges, from designing next-gen UI/UX for interfacing with data to scaling our services and infrastructure across millions of virtual machines. And we're only getting started. The Role At Databricks, we don’t just use the cloud; we are "cloud maximalists." Unlike most companies that treat multi-cloud as a backup strategy, we run our platform across every region of every major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, and GCP) simultaneously. This creates a massive, high-consequence engineering surface area that requires a unique breed of Production Engineer. In this role, you won’t just run our cloud environments; you will own and evolve the secure infrastructure, access patterns, and guardrails that keep Databricks’ global platform safe and compliant in production. You will be responsible for the "sovereign layer" of our infrastructure, ensuring that our Data Intelligence Platform operates with 100% reliability and security in highly regulated, air-gapped, and sovereign environments. If you are an engineer who views infrastructure as a software problem and thrives on the complexity of global-scale networking, IAM, and automation, this is your team. The Impact You’ll Have Security-Focused Cloud Operations Design, automate, and operate the IAM, account/subscription, and project lifecycle across AWS, Azure, and GCP, enforcing least-privilege and standardized access patterns at scale. Review, implement, and continuously improve cloud identity and access policies (IAM, Okta, Opal) to align with Data

The goal of a Staff Machine Learning Engineer at Scale is to lead the design and deployment of agentic AI systems that operate in real-world, mission-critical government environments. On the Public Sector team, you’ll work at the intersection of agentic ML, systems engineering, and applied research, building foundational infrastructure that enables AI systems to reason, plan, and act reliably at national scale. Our Public Sector ML Team partners directly with U.S. defense and intelligence agencies to deploy AI into classified and regulated environments. Through flagship programs like Donovan and Thunderforge , we are advancing the next generation of agentic AI for geospatial reasoning, planning, and decision support. Staff Machine Learning Engineers play a central role in setting technical direction, owning core architectures, and translating ambitious ideas into production systems trusted by government operators. You will: Lead the architecture and implementation of agentic AI systems, with a focus on long-horizon reasoning, orchestration, and system-level reliability. Build and scale agents that perform complex geospatial reasoning, including interpreting, generating, and reasoning over maps and spatial data. Design and improve retrieval systems across large collections of static and semi-structured documents, enabling agents to surface high-signal context efficiently. Fine-tune and evaluate embedding models to improve recall and precision for mission-critical datasets. Design memory systems that allow agents to persist state, operate over long contexts, and learn from prior interactions. Own and evolve shared agentic infrastructure and core libraries, enabling reuse across teams, products, and Public Sector contracts. Define evaluation strategies for agentic systems, including robustness testing, failure-mode analysis, and regression testing in production environments. Partner closely with engineering managers, product leaders, and researchers to scope high-impac
