Senior AI Platform Engineer (Staff)

Equinix, Inc.; Greater London; On-site; GBP 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Equinix, Inc. is hiring Staff and Senior Staff Engineers to build production AI agents and the platform they run on. You will design, ship, evaluate, and harden agents that trusted teams use for real delivery work; your agents will write software and your engineering decisions determine what ships.

You will own agents through full lifecycle, craft governance via evals and guardrails, and help scale the platform with architecture, code quality, CI/CD, and cloud-native design.

Qualifications

• 6+ years (Staff) or 9+ years (Senior Staff) of professional software engineering experience, with a record of shipping and operating production systems.
• Hands-on experience building LLM-powered applications or agents: prompt and context engineering, tool calling, retrieval, or multi-agent workflows.
• Experience designing evaluations for AI systems, or strong test-engineering instincts you are eager to apply to non‑deterministic software.
• Strong proficiency in Python or TypeScript, plus solid API, microservices, and event-driven architecture skills.
• Fluency with modern engineering practice: Git, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, and cloud platforms.
• Sound judgment about when to trust automation and when to demand human review, and the communication skills to explain that reasoning.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship LLM-powered agents that execute real lifecycle work: intake triage, estimation, requirements, technical design, coding, testing, release, and operations.
• Tool use via MCP, agent-to-agent handoffs (A2A), event-driven orchestration, and deep Jira and enterprise system integration.
• AI gateway, orchestration, audit, and access control, with security and privacy by design.
• Design and automate eval suites that measure agent output quality on every change, and make passing evals the release gate for agents.
