About Acquia

Acquia empowers the world’s most ambitious brands to create digital customer experiences that matter. With open source Drupal at its core, the Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) enables marketers, developers, and IT operations teams at thousands of global organizations to rapidly compose and deploy digital products and services that engage customers, enhance conversions, and help businesses stand out.

Headquartered in the U.S., Acquia has been named a top software company by The Software Report, rated a leader by the analyst community, and named a top place to work by the Boston Globe and the Boston Business Journal. We are Acquia. We are building for the future and we want you to be a part of it!

The Role: Acquia is seeking a Staff AI Engineer to join our AI Platform 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 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.

Key Responsibilities

• Write and ship production AI code daily — you are an active contributor, not just an architect. 
• Architect agentic AI workflows using LangGraph — 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.

Required Experience

• 8+ years of software engineering with 3+ years in production AI/ML or LLM systems.
• Hands-on LangGraph 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.

Desired Skills

• 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 OpenClaw 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 communication skills — able to present AI system design to both engineers and C-suite stakeholders.
• Senior IC track record — known for the quality of your own code and system designs, with mentoring that happens organically through great work, not through meetings.

About Acquia

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.

Acquia. Built for every audience, human or otherwise.

The role:

Acquia is seeking an Enterprise AI Platform Architect to join our AI Platform Engineering team. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise in generative AI, agents, and agentic architectures with the ability to move fast, designing, building, and shipping production-grade agentic AI workflows across the Acquia DXP. We’re scaling Acquia’s agentic orchestration platform from alpha to production.

Responsibilities: 

• Lead end-to-end delivery of AI agent implementations 
• Conduct architectural reviews and provide recommendations for optimizing AI platform performance, scalability, and security
• Lead the design and deployment of production-grade AI systems as an active contributor writing high-impact code. Expect to live in Python, LangGraph, and LangFuse to turn vision into reality.
• Architect sophisticated, stateful, multi-agent workflows using LangGraph. You will build the frameworks that allow autonomous agents to operate with enterprise-level reliability and scale.
• Champion AI observability by integrating LangFuse for deep tracing, prompt versioning, and rigorous evaluation. You’ll turn "black box" LLM interactions into transparent, benchmarked performance data.
• Define the engineering blueprints for the entire organization. You will establish patterns for RAG architecture, advanced tool-calling, context window optimization, and prompt engineering.
• As the internal scout for emerging tech, you will benchmark new LLM providers and orchestration frameworks, ensuring our stack remains at the cutting edge of the agentic revolution.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field
• 7+ years of experience in cloud computing architecture, software engineering, or technical consulting
• 3+ years of experience in AI/ML platform architecture and development, with deep recent experience (2+ years) in generative AI and agentic architectures in production applications.
• Demonstrated track record of shipping AI applications to production environments, not just prototypes.
• Hands-on LangGraph — stateful, cyclic, multi-agent workflows at enterprise scale.
• Hands-on LangFuse - tracing, evaluation, prompt management, and dataset- driven testing

• 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.
