Job description

Acquia is the digital experience platform built for a world where your audience isn’t only human. Its agents too.

As AI agents become active participants in how people discover, consume, and act on digital content, Acquia gives enterprise teams the platform to create, manage, and distribute experiences designed for both. Powered by agentic AI that orchestrates – not just advises – Acquia automates complex digital workflows within the governance guardrails large organizations require.

The world’s #1 Drupal hosting provider, Acquia brings together Content Management, Digital Asset Management, and Product Information Management in a single AI-powered Command Center: Acquia Source.

The Role:

Acquia is seeking a Staff AI Engineer to join our AI Core Engineering team. This is first and foremost a hands‑on engineering role – you will spend the majority of your time designing, building, and shipping production‑grade agentic AI workflows across the Acquia DXP. LangGraph, Temporal, Pydantic and LangFuse are your primary tools; enterprise reliability, observability, and scale are your standards. You’ll also play a light but meaningful mentoring role, helping to lift the AI engineering capability of those around you as the team grows.

• 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.
• 8+ years of software engineering with 3+ years in production of AI Agents.
• Hands‑on LangFuse expertise– tracing, evaluation, prompt management, and dataset‑driven testing
• Deep Python proficiencyand strong engineering fundamentals (testing, CI/CD, architecture).
