Job Summary
Reporting to the Head of Data & Transformation, the Staff Data Engineer – Agentic Applications is a senior individual contributor responsible for designing, building and operating Python-based web applications, agentic workflows and supporting data services for Graphcore’s business teams. The role combines strong data engineering foundations with hands-on application development, using AI agents, trusted data and business system integrations to improve decision-making and automate operational workflows.
Depending on the use case, you will either deliver applications end to end, using AI-assisted coding tools to build and maintain the front end, or own the backend and enable business colleagues to create and look after their own front ends. In both approaches, you will help establish clear ownership, secure interfaces and appropriate engineering controls so applications remain reliable, maintainable and supportable.
Working closely with engineers, analysts and business stakeholders, you will take solutions from initial requirements through to production, contribute to the evolution of the underlying data platform and provide technical leadership through design reviews, code reviews and mentoring.
