Join Databricks: Pioneering the Future of Data and AI

At Databricks, we are driven by a passion to empower data teams in tackling the world’s most challenging problems-from revolutionizing transportation to accelerating medical innovations.

If you are passionate about advancing data and AI technologies and are eager to lead a cutting-edge product to success, we invite you to join our dynamic team at Databricks

About the Role:

Enterprise customers prioritize the quality of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Large Language Model (LLM) applications. However, without a robust platform to evaluate this quality, making informed, data-driven decisions to enhance these systems over time becomes nearly impossible. The AI Agent Evaluation team is dedicated to addressing this critical need. By leveraging LLMs and specialized models, we assess the quality of RAG and LLM application responses across multiple dimensions, including correctness, relevance, and toxicity.

We empower our customers to build, optimize, and monitor their LLM and RAG applications at scale, efficiently and effectively.
