Staff AI Engineer — Agentic AI & Enterprise Workflows

Acquia; United States; On-site; USD 145,000 - 159,000; Full time

Job summary

Acquia seeks a Staff AI Engineer to join the AI Core Engineering team. You will design, build, and ship production-grade agentic AI workflows across the Acquia DXP, using LangGraph, Temporal, and LangFuse to ensure enterprise reliability.

You will also mentor engineers and set engineering standards for RAG, prompts, tools, and context optimization while collaborating with product and platform teams to meet security and compliance requirements.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering with 3+ years in production of AI Agents.
• Hands-on LangGraph, Temporal, Pydantic expertise — stateful, cyclic, multi-agent workflows at enterprise scale.
• Hands-on LangFuse expertise - tracing, evaluation, prompt management, and dataset-driven testing.
• Proficiency with agent harness frameworks such as LangChain or similar (e.g. LlamaIndex, CrewAI) — composing chains, tools, memory, and retrieval pipelines.
• Deep Python proficiency and strong engineering fundamentals (testing, CI/CD, architecture).
• Cloud AI deployment experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP) including containerization and inference cost management.
• RAG architecture knowledge— vector databases, embedding models, and retrieval strategies.
• B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

Responsibilities

• Write and ship production AI code daily — you are an active contributor.
• Architect agentic AI workflows using LangGraph, Temporal, Pydantic — stateful, multi-agent workflows built for enterprise scale and reliability.
• Own AI observability via LangFuse: tracing, prompt versioning, evaluation, and performance benchmarking across all model interactions.
• Set AI engineering standards for agent design patterns, RAG, prompt management, context optimization, and tool-calling strategies.
• Partner with product and platform teams to deliver AI architectures that meet enterprise SLA, security, and compliance requirements.
• Evaluate and adopt emerging tooling — benchmarking LLM providers, orchestration frameworks, and agentic stack improvements.
• Mentor engineers as a natural extension of your work — sharing knowledge through code reviews, pairing sessions, and design discussions, not through management overhead.
• Represent Acquia's AI capabilities in customer architectural reviews, technical discovery, and roadmap conversations.
