Staff AI Engineer — Architecting Enterprise Agentic AI

Acquia; Boston (MA); On-site; CAD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Acquia is seeking a Staff AI Engineer to join our AI Core Engineering team. This is a hands-on role focused on designing, building, and shipping production-grade agentic AI workflows within the Acquia DXP.

You will mentor engineers and help elevate the AI engineering capability as the team grows. You will work with LangGraph, Temporal, Pydantic, and LangFuse to deliver reliable AI architectures, observability, and scalable solutions for enterprise needs.

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.
