Staff Data Engineer - Agentic AI

As a Staff Data Engineer – Agentic AI, you will operate as a senior individual contributor within Amex Technology, helping define how agentic AI systems are designed, built, and operated across the company. You will work at the intersection of agentic system architecture and hands-on execution: designing core frameworks, writing production code, reviewing critical designs, and guiding teams through complex technical decisions. This role does not include people management; your impact comes from technical leadership, sound judgment, and the ability to turn ambiguity into reliable, scalable agentic systems. You will work closely with Product and UX partners to shape a shared vision for agentic AI experiences. While product teams own prioritization, Staff engineers are expected to actively influence what gets built and how agentic systems come together across teams. This is an individual contributor, hands-on, deeply technical role with broad architectural ownership and high organizational impact; however, as the team grows, you will take on increasing responsibility for technical leadership and people development within the agentic AI space. Mentoring, developing and managing direct reports may be in scope for some of our opportunities.
