Role

Staff Agentic AI Engineer

Location

Hybrid, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Experience

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Record of shipping and operating production systems
• Hands-on experience building LLM-powered applications or agents
• Experience designing evaluations for AI systems, or strong test-engineering instincts for non-deterministic software
• Strong proficiency in Python or TypeScript
• 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
• Communication skills to explain that reasoning

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship LLM-powered agents for intake triage, estimation, requirements, technical design, coding, testing, release, and operations
• Engineer scaffolding for dependable agents using MCP tool use, A2A handoffs, event-driven orchestration, and Jira and enterprise system integration
• Build on Equinix's enterprise AI platform with AI gateway, orchestration, audit, and access control
• Design and automate eval suites for agent output quality on every change
• Make passing evals the release gate for agents
• Define guardrails, human-in-the-loop approval points, review thresholds, and escalation paths
• Instrument agent behavior end to end across quality, latency, cost, and adoption
• Tune prompts, context, and configurations to improve outcomes
• Build knowledge layers over process libraries, decision histories, code, and delivery data
• Establish reusable prompt patterns, context standards, and agent configurations
• Own agents through their full lifecycle, including instructions, context freshness, performance monitoring, feedback, and retirement
• Contribute to the orchestrator, persona consoles, and dashboards for agent-led delivery
• Dogfood agents to build agent systems and feed learnings back into the platform
• Apply strong engineering craft in architecture, code quality, testing, CI/CD, and cloud-native design
• Deliver complete agents and platform components within established patterns
• Own evals and quality end to end
• Set patterns for hardest and most ambiguous problems in orchestration, eval design, and agent reliability at scale
• Define standards others follow and multiply the team

Additional Responsibilities

• Help define how AI-first engineering works at Equinix
• Explain to executives what an agent did, why, and how it is known
• Make the platform simpler, faster, and cheaper as it scales
• Use agents to build agent systems and continuously improve the platform

Nice To Have

• Experience with agent frameworks and protocols such as MCP, A2A, Anthropic or OpenAI APIs, Bedrock, Vertex, or LangGraph
• Experience building developer platforms, orchestration systems, or SDLC tooling with Jira, GitHub, or ServiceNow integration
• Knowledge-engineering experience: retrieval systems, embeddings, or enterprise knowledge graphs
• Experience taking AI features through security, privacy, and responsible AI review in an enterprise
• Evidence of craft such as open-source contributions, technical writing, or internal platforms with devoted users
