Company Description
At Databricks, we are obsessed with enabling data teams to solve the world's toughest problems, from security threat detection to cancer drug development. We do this by building and running the world's best data and AI platform so our customers can focus on the high-value challenges that are central to their own missions.
The Databricks AI Research organization is pushing the frontier of next-generation enterprise AI. We believe a company's data is its greatest competitive advantage, and we're building the models and agents that unlock it. Our work spans the full stack, from model training to advanced multi-agent systems.
Job Description
As a Research Scientist on the Agent Flywheel team, you will build the context layer for recursive self-improvement and autofix loops for agents: turning raw production session traces from Databricks’ data agents into online signals agents can optimize against. You will research how to convert messy, real customer interactions into deterministic metrics, calibrated LLM judges, and failure clusters, and close the loop so those signals drive training and agent improvement.
