The Role in 60 Seconds Most companies are still experimenting with AI wrappers in local environments. At Pushpay, we are building production-grade agentic systems that directly amplify how our entire engineering organization builds, ships, and operates software. As a Staff AI Platform Engineer , you will operate with significant autonomy to architect, run, and scale our internal agentic platforms and developer tooling (like PR review agents, SDLC copilots, and context engines). You won't just build these systems—you will own their operational discipline, cost governance, evaluation suites, and reliability in production, acting as a force multiplier for every engineer across Pushpay. Why This Role is Different True Engineering Leverage: You aren't building internal gimmicks. You are designing systems that fundamentally transform our SDLC and reduce friction for every product team. Production-Grade Non-Determinism: You treat agents as distributed, operational workloads—implementing token budgets, trace-level observability (OTEL, Langfuse), SLOs/SLIs, and eval-driven regression testing before code hits main. Influence Without Dictatorship: You won't enforce top-down mandates. You will drive org-wide adoption of tools like Claude Code and custom MCP implementations through technical credibility, pairing with teams, and building platforms engineers want to use. What You'll Do Architect & Build Agentic Systems: Design internal supervisor loops, router patterns, and state machines using the Claude Agent SDK, AWS Bedrock, and frameworks like LangGraph. Run Workloads at Scale: Establish SLOs for agent success rates, latency, and token efficiency. Take point on observability, prompt versioning, and incident response when agents misbehave or hallucinate. Elevate Developer Experience: Identify SDLC bottlenecks, optimize build/CI performance, refine local dev setups (LocalStack, .NET Aspire), and tune AWS serverless architectures (Lambda cold-starts, SnapStart). Set the Bar for AI Safety & Quality: Define reusable component models, context retrieval (RAG) architecture, and guardrails to ensure autonomous systems degrade safely. What We Are Looking For 8+ Years in Software Engineering with significant time spent as a technical lead in Platform, Infrastructure, or DevEx. Production Agentic Experience: You have actually operated non-deterministic LLM/agentic workloads in production—managing cost governance, tracing, and eval pipelines, not just building prototype wrapper apps. Backend & Cloud Mastery: Deep proficiency in C# or Python paired with strong AWS cloud-native expertise (Lambda, API Gateway, Bedrock, IAM/KMS). Developer Empathy & Leadership: A track record of driving tool adoption and technical standards across multiple teams through pairing, mentorship, and clear communication rather than authority. Tech Stack You'll Touch Claude Agent SDK • AWS Bedrock • LangGraph / LangChain • OTEL • Langfuse • New Relic • C# / .NET • Python • AWS Lambda • .NET Aspire • LocalStack Ready to build the platform that powers the future of our engineering organization?

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

144.883Jobs
31.687IN
81%EN

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.

Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.

Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.

When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
