This is not a role where the product hands you a spec. You'll often be the one deciding what's worth building before anyone else has framed the problem.\nYour core mandate is threefold:\nBuild agentic capability into the core platform. Design and ship AI/agent-driven features - autonomous workflows, decision engines, LLM-integrated tooling - into a commerce platform already processing billions in transaction volume.\n\nOperate at the edge of ambiguity. Take a rough direction, not a groomed backlog, and turn it into a scoped, shippable plan yourself. You'll be trusted to define the \"what\" as much as the \"how.\"\n\nSet the technical bar for how we build with AI. You won't be the only engineer touching this space - you'll help shape the standard others follow.\n\nWhat You'll Walk Into\nAn agentic initiative already underway - early proof-of-concept work has shipped, momentum exists, but there's no dedicated senior technical owner driving it end-to-end yet\n\nA production platform with deep integrations across QuickBooks, Shopify, Amazon, eBay, and more - technically complex and high-stakes\n\nOwning distinct areas of the platform - you'll have real IC peers at your level, not just reports\n\nA manager who will be a technical thought partner, not a filter - you'll engage directly with architecture and roadmap decisions, not through a PM layer\n\nRequirements\nWhat You'll Do\nAgentic Product Development\nDesign and build AI/agent-driven features across the commerce platform - from proof-of-concept to production\n\nOwn ambiguous, 0-to-1 problems end-to-end without waiting on a fully-groomed spec\n\nTechnical Ownership & Craft\nMake and defend architecture calls independently; bring options with tradeoffs, not open-ended questions\n\nPartner with our architecture function on how agentic systems integrate cleanly into the existing platform layer, rather than bypassing it\n\nRoadmap & Direction\nPartner with engineering and product leadership on whatto build, not just receive requirements - shape the roadmap, don't just consume it\n\nIdentify where AI creates real leverage for customers (vs. where it's just a buzzword) and make the case for it\n\nCross-Functional Leadership\nSet technical direction for others working in the agentic space; raise the bar on how the team builds with AI\n\nCommunicate decisions and tradeoffs clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nMust-haves:\n8+ years in backend/systems engineering, with real production experience owning complex systems end-to-end\n\nHands-on fluency with AI/LLM tooling - you've built with agents, RAG, tool-calling, or similar, not just used ChatGPT\n\nDemonstrated comfort operating without a fully-defined spec - a track record of shaping a fuzzy problem into a concrete, shippable plan\n\nStrong, independent architectural judgment - comfortable defending a design decision under scrutiny\n\nSelf-directed - you don't need a product manager to break down the work before you can start\n\nClear communicator - can explain a technical decision and its tradeoffs to both engineers and leadership\n\nStrong advantages:\nExperience with .NET / C# (our core stack)\n\nPrior experience in a startup or small-team environment where you owned ambiguity by necessity, not choice\n\nExposure to e-commerce, ERP, or integration-heavy platforms\n\nBenefits\nWhy Join Webgility\nReal impact: Your work directly shapes how thousands of small businesses operate, not just how data moves between systems\n\nBuilder's role: You're defining Webgility's agentic capability, not maintaining an established roadmap someone else set\n\nDomain depth: Ecommerce + accounting is a complex, high-stakes integration problem with a large TAM\n\nDirect access: You'll work closely with engineering leadership on architecture and direction, with real influence over what gets built next\n\nWebgility is an equal opportunity employer. We value diverse perspectives and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4320,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Commerce","E-commerce Platforms","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-03T17:13:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":19,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.335,"p_room":0.578,"age_days":9,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/webgility-senior-staff-engineer-ai-agentic-engineering-","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/webgility-senior-staff-engineer-ai-agentic-engineering-.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T12:52:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20005,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1821852},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1821852"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwebgility-senior-staff-engineer-ai-agentic-engineering-"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwebgility-senior-staff-engineer-ai-agentic-engineering-"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwebgility-senior-staff-engineer-ai-agentic-engineering-"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/webgility-senior-staff-engineer-ai-agentic-engineering-\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwebgility-senior-staff-engineer-ai-agentic-engineering-"}]}
