Job Summary

Build the Agents That Build Our Software

Most engineering roles now come with AI tools. This one comes with a mission.

Equinix Incubation builds the agentic systems that run the software delivery lifecycle end to end: from intake and business case through design, code, test, release, and value tracking, with humans directing the work and owning every gate. We are hiring Staff and Senior Staff Engineers to build those agents and the platform they run on.

You will not just use AI to code faster. You will design, ship, evaluate, and harden production agents that colleagues across a global organization trust with real delivery work. Your agents will write software; your engineering decides what ships.

Responsibilities

Build Production AI Agents

• Design, build, and ship LLM-powered agents that execute real lifecycle work: intake triage, estimation, requirements, technical design, coding, testing, release, and operations
• Engineer the scaffolding that makes agents dependable: tool use via MCP, agent-to-agent handoffs (A2A), event-driven orchestration, and deep Jira and enterprise system integration
• Build on Equinix's enterprise AI platform: AI gateway, orchestration, audit, and access control, with security and privacy by design

Make Agents Trustworthy: Evals, Guardrails, Gates

• Design and automate eval suites that measure agent output quality on every change, and make passing evals the release gate for age...
