AI Harness Engineers

Job Description

Development environments end to end: fast, isolated, reproducible, for human engineers and for agent fleets, including sandboxes, ephemeral environments, and warm starts.
Deterministic CI and the pre-push validation surface, so failures are caught at the desk, not in the pipeline.
The agent harness: the tooling, permissions, retry limits, and orchestration blueprints our coding agents operate within, improved permanently every time an agent fails.
The recursive improvement loop: agent transcripts, failure modes, and evaluation verdicts flow back into harness changes and model adaptation datasets automatically, so the system that builds our products improves itself.
Evaluation-gated merges: the CI integration that makes eval suites a first-class merge gate.
Measurement: cold-start times, agent PR merge rates, and review-time economics; you improve what you instrument.

What You Will Need

• Prior ownership of a development environment, build system, or paved-path workflow used by a multi-team engineering organization
• Strong Python plus container and Kubernetes fluency; comfort operating CI/CD systems at scale
• Direct experience deploying or operating AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or in-house), beyond personal use
• You follow frontier agentic-systems research (harness design, reinforcement learning from execution feedback, evaluation methods) closely enough to put it into production within the quarter it lands
• A measurement habit: you can show numbers for a developer-experience improvement you shipped
• Daily, hands-on use of AI coding assistants as part of your own development workflow

What Sets You Apart

• Hermetic build systems (Bazel, Buck, Nix, or similar) or monorepo tooling at scale
• Go or Rust; Git-at-scale experience
• You have built one-shot or unattended agent pipelines with hard failure caps and human escalation
• You have turned agent execution traces into training or evaluation datasets, or built reinforcement learning pipelines from execution feedback
• You have written publicly about developer experience or agent harnesses
• Financial services engineering exposure (banks, insurers, or payment providers)

The Reference Stack

The reference technology stack for this role is our supported paved road: self-hosted LangSmith and Lang Graph Platform as the agent runtime and evaluation plane, model providers behind a swappable gateway seam, PostgreSQL with pgvector plus Click House and S3-compatible object storage as the data platform, Neo4j Enterprise as the semantic knowledge graph, an agent memory plane serving episodic and precedent memory over MCP, MCP-native connectors, OpenTelemetry and Grafana for observability, all on CNCF-conformant Kubernetes with Helm and Argo CD, deployable to any hyperscaler or on-prem. A tool-for-tool match is not expected: analogous experience counts fully. If you have built and operated systems of this shape on comparable components (a different orchestration framework, graph engine, evaluation platform, or serving stack), you have what we are looking for.
