Senior Staff Engineer (AI & Agentic Engineering )

Agentic Product Development

Design and build AI/agent-driven features across the commerce platform — from proof-of-concept to production

Own ambiguous, 0-to-1 problems end-to-end without waiting on a fully-groomed spec

Technical Ownership & Craft

Make and defend architecture calls independently; bring options with tradeoffs, not open-ended questions

Partner with our architecture function on how agentic systems integrate cleanly into the existing platform layer, rather than bypassing it

Roadmap & Direction

Partner with engineering and product leadership on what to build, not just receive requirements — shape the roadmap, don't just consume it

Identify where AI creates real leverage for customers (vs. where it's just a buzzword) and make the case for it

Cross-Functional Leadership

Set technical direction for others working in the agentic space; raise the bar on how the team builds with AI

Communicate decisions and tradeoffs clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders

Must-haves:

8+ years in backend/systems engineering, with real production experience owning complex systems end-to-end

Hands-on fluency with AI/LLM tooling — you've built with agents, RAG, tool-calling, or similar, not just used ChatGPT

Demonstrated comfort operating without a fully-defined spec — a track record of shaping a fuzzy problem into a concrete, shippable plan

Strong, independent architectural judgment — comfortable defending a design decision under scrutiny

Self-directed — you don't need a product manager to break down the work before you can start

Clear communicator — can explain a technical decision and its tradeoffs to both engineers and leadership

Strong advantages:

Experience with .NET / C# (our core stack)

Prior experience in a startup or small-team environment where you owned ambiguity by necessity, not choice

Exposure to e-commerce, ERP, or integration-heavy platforms

Real impact: Your work directly shapes how thousands of small businesses operate, not just how data moves between systems

Builder's role: You're defining Webgility's agentic capability, not maintaining an established roadmap someone else set

Domain depth: Ecommerce + accounting is a complex, high-stakes integration problem with a large TAM

Direct access: You'll work closely with engineering leadership on architecture and direction, with real influence over what gets built next
