Be an Early Applicant
Build and deploy production-ready AI applications and data pipelines on Azure Databricks. Responsibilities include PySpark and SQL ETL/ELT, CI/CD, Azure integrations, ML and generative AI deployment, RAG and vector search, LLM fine-tuning, monitoring, optimization, governance, and responsible AI. The role also involves Databricks Apps, Unity Catalog, prompt engineering, FastAPI and React applications, testing, guardrails, and collaboration with data science and platform teams.
Primary Responsibilities:
This role focuses on building production-ready AI applications and deploying them on Azure Databricks and Azure cloud infrastructure. You will work end-to-end: from data ingestion and model integration to scalable deployment, monitoring, and ongoing optimization.
The expectation is to convert AI ideas into reliable, governed, and cost-efficient applications that run in production. You will design data and AI pipelines, integrate models (including ML and Generative AI), and deploy them using Databricks workflows and Azure-native services.
Success in this role requires strong hands-on experience with Azure Databricks, Python, SQL, and Azure services, along with a clear understanding of how AI systems fail in production—and how to prevent it. You will collaborate closely with data scientists, platform engineers, and business stakeholders to ensure AI applications are usable, scalable, and maintainable beyond the first release.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and build end-to-end data and AI pipelines using Azure Databricks.
- Develop robust ETL/ELT workflows using Python (PySpark) and SQL.
- Implement CI/CD pipelines for Databricks deployments (jobs, notebooks, workflows).
- Integrate Databricks with Azure services (Data Lake, Blob Storage, Key Vault, Azure OpenAI, Azure Functions, etc.).
- Optimize jobs for performance, cost, and reliability.
- Build reusable, modular code.
- Collaborate with data scientists and platform teams to move models from experimentation to production.
- Implement logging, monitoring, and error handling for production pipelines.
- Develop and deploy ML and Generative AI models (LLMs, embeddings, RAG pipelines) for NLP, computer vision, and predictive analytics.
- Fine-tune LLMs using LoRA/QLoRA and integrate with Azure OpenAI or Hugging Face models.
- Implement vector search and retrieval pipelines using FAISS or Azure Cognitive Search.
- Ensure responsible AI practices, including bias detection and model governance.
Good to Have (Strong Advantage)
- Experience with ML and Generative AI workloads on Databricks.
- RAG, embeddings, or inference pipelines.
- Terraform / ARM / Bicep for infrastructure.
- Databricks Asset Bundles.
- Airflow or ADF orchestration.
- Production monitoring and cost optimization experience.
- Knowledge of LangChain or similar frameworks for AI application development.
- Experience with Azure AI services (Azure Machine Learning, Azure Cognitive Services).
Databricks
- Design and build pipelines for ingesting data into Databricks from various sources like SAP, website scraping. Core technical skill will be PySpark and PySQL
- Write and do scenario-based testing, edge cases and discuss with the stake holders to finalize the necessary code changes and acceptance criteria.
- Understanding of the Databricks Unity Catalog permissions model and how to use OBO tokens and configure Service Principals for Databricks Agents,Genie Spaces, Machine Learning and Foundation Models.
- Knowledge of Databricks Apps. Ability to build and Deploy Databricks Apps using Visual Studio Code.
- Sending custom notifications from Databricks using APIs to custom Team Channel Webhooks
AI:
- Ability to use FastAPI /React front end and build minimal Single Page Applications(SPAs) using Chat UI interfaces and Claude Models/APIs
- Ability to use defined System Prompts, User Prompts etc..(i..e,) skills in prompt engineering.
- Basic Knowledge of Token Economics and ability use rule enforcement in prompts in addition to standard NLP language.
- Ability to reengineer code and see what it does and map it to the requirement specifications from users
- Ability to use Graphs to detect inter dependencies between rules and circular references.
- Ability to use both Claude Vision API in addition to standard text processing.
- Understand and develop Retrieval Augmented Generation specifically to Databricks like AI Search indexes, Hierarchical Chunking etc..
- Know how to implement basic guard rails related to AI safety
- Understand various caching mechanisms
Requirements
- Azure Databricks (jobs, workflows, clusters, Unity Catalog preferred).
- Python (PySpark-heavy, not just pandas).
- SQL (complex joins, window functions, analytical queries).
- Azure Cloud (ADLS Gen2, ADF, Key Vault, IAM concepts).
- Pipeline orchestration & deployment (CI/CD, environment promotion).
- Azure DevOps.
- Strong understanding of ML lifecycle and MLOps best practices.
- Experience with model deployment using MLflow or similar frameworks.

What you need to know about the Chennai Tech Scene
To locals, it's no secret that South India is leading the charge in big data infrastructure. While the environmental impact of data centers has long been a concern, emerging hubs like Chennai are favored by companies seeking ready access to renewable energy resources, which provide more sustainable and cost-effective solutions. As a result, Chennai, along with neighboring Bengaluru and Hyderabad, is poised for significant growth, with a projected 65 percent increase in data center capacity over the next decade.
