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.

Acquia. Built for every audience, human or otherwise.

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. Lang Graph, Temporal, Pydantic and Lang Fuse 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.

• Write and ship production AI code daily — you are an active contributor.
• Architect agentic AI workflows using Lang Graph, Temporal, Pydantic — stateful, multi-agent workflows built for enterprise scale and reliability.
• Own AI observability via Lang Fuse: 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 Lang Graph, Temporal, Pydantic expertise — stateful, cyclic, multi-agent workflows at enterprise scale.
• Hands-on Lang Fuse expertise - tracing, evaluation, prompt management, and dataset- driven testing
• Proficiency with agent harness frameworks such as Lang Chain or similar (e.g. Llama Index, 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.

• Enterprise SaaS or CMS, including familiarity with Acquia's Drupal-based DXP experience
• Agentic development workflow fluency — AI-assisted coding tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude) as everyday accelerators.
• Familiarity with persistent agent runtimes - such as Open Claw and Hermes Agent, understanding cross-session memory, autonomous skill creation, and always-on agent infrastructure as it matures in enterprise contexts.
• LLM fine‑tuning or model evaluation experience and awareness of foundational model tradeoffs.
• Human‑in‑the‑loop — interrupt‑driven agents and enterprise design
• Strong…
