## Description

The AI Developer is a foundational member of Diamondback Energy's new AI team, responsible for building and deploying AI-powered applications, agents, and workflows that turn emerging AI capabilities into practical business value. Working across Microsoft Azure (including Azure Databricks and Azure AI Foundry), Snowflake, and Anthropic's Claude and Claude Agent SDK, the AI Developer will prototype, build, and productionize solutions spanning generative AI, agentic workflows, and applied machine learning. This role is intentionally broad: the ideal candidate brings a range of technical exposure, a strong foundation in software and data engineering, and - above all - genuine enthusiasm for learning new tools and approaches as the field evolves., Include but are not limited to

 * Design, build, and deploy AI-powered applications and autonomous/multi-agent workflows using large language models (Claude, Azure OpenAI models via Azure AI Foundry, and others)
 * Build and maintain data pipelines connecting Snowflake and Azure Databricks to AI/ML workflows (using tools such as dbt), ensuring models and agents operate on trusted, well-structured data
 * Develop and orchestrate agentic systems using the Claude Agent SDK and Azure AI Foundry Agent Service, including tool use, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and multi-step reasoning
 * Build evaluation harnesses and testing frameworks to measure model and agent quality, reliability, and safety before and after deployment
 * Rapidly prototype and evaluate emerging AI tools, models, and frameworks; recommend adoption where they add clear value
 * Partner with data science, data engineering, IT, and business stakeholders to translate ambiguous needs into working, production-ready solutions
 * Support responsible AI practices, including data privacy, access control, and governance, within Azure and Snowflake environments
