Who are we?
Equinix is the world’s digital infrastructure company®, shortening the path to connectivity to enable the innovations that enrich our work, life and planet.
A place where tech thinkers and future builders turn bold ideas into breakthrough experiences, we welcome your unique perspective.
Help us challenge assumptions, uncover bias, and remove barriers—because progress starts with fresh ideas. You’ll find belonging, purpose, and a team that welcomes you—because when you feel valued, you’re empowered to do your best work.
Job Summary
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
