Senior Staff Engineer (AI & Agentic Engineering ) in India at Jobgether

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Staff Engineer (AI & Agentic Engineering) based in India.

Shape the future of AI-powered software by leading the design and delivery of intelligent, agent-driven capabilities within a high-scale technology platform. As a Senior Staff Engineer, you will solve complex engineering challenges, define technical direction for emerging AI initiatives, and transform ambitious ideas into production-ready solutions. This is a highly strategic individual contributor role where you'll influence architecture, collaborate with engineering leadership, and drive innovation in a fast-paced environment. Ideal for experienced engineers who thrive in ambiguity, this opportunity offers the chance to build impactful AI systems, mentor technical peers, and establish best practices for modern agentic engineering.

• Design, develop, and deploy AI-driven features, autonomous workflows, decision engines, and LLM-powered capabilities from concept through production.
• Lead end-to-end delivery of complex, ambiguous initiatives, defining both the problem space and the technical approach independently.
• Own architectural decisions for AI and agentic systems, ensuring scalable, secure, and maintainable integration with existing platform services.
• Collaborate closely with engineering and product leadership to shape product strategy, technical roadmaps, and AI adoption opportunities.
• Evaluate emerging AI technologies and identify practical use cases that deliver measurable customer value.
• Establish engineering standards, technical patterns, and best practices for AI and agentic application development.
• Mentor fellow engineers by providing technical guidance, architectural reviews, and thought leadership across AI initiatives.
• Communicate technical decisions, trade-offs, and strategic recommendations effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• 8+ years of experience in backend, distributed systems, or software engineering with ownership of large-scale production systems.
• Hands-on experience building production-grade AI applications using LLMs, agent frameworks, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), tool-calling, or similar technologies.
• Proven ability to independently drive 0-to-1 product development and deliver solutions in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
• Strong software architecture and system design expertise, with confidence making and defending technical decisions.
• Experience collaborating across engineering, architecture, and product teams to define technical direction and product strategy.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.
• Self-motivated mindset with the ability to prioritize, execute, and deliver without detailed specifications.
• Experience with .NET and C# is highly desirable.
• Previous experience in startup or high-growth environments is a strong advantage.
• Familiarity with e-commerce, ERP platforms, integrations, or transaction-heavy systems is a plus.

• Remote-first opportunity based in India with flexible working arrangements (work-from-office preferred, with quarterly onsite visits when working remotely).
• Opportunity to lead cutting-edge AI and agentic engineering initiatives with significant technical ownership.
• High level of influence over architecture, engineering standards, and product direction.
• Close collaboration with senior engineering leadership and strategic decision-makers.
• Exposure to complex, enterprise-scale technology challenges and modern AI technologies.
• Collaborative engineering culture focused on innovation, autonomy, and continuous learning.
• Career growth opportunities while working on impactful, customer-facing AI products.
• Inclusive workplace committed to diversity, equity, and equal opportunity.
