Intel · Santa Clara, CA · 5 days ago
HybridEngineering$195k–$361k/yrFull-time

About the role

The role involves designing and building the agent loop for a transformative AI system. This includes implementing the agent loop, tool integrations, context management, scheduling, and security mechanisms. The role also involves making the harness model-agnostic and ensuring observability, debuggability, and reproducibility.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build the agent loop: planning, tool invocation, observation handling, retries, termination
  • Implement tool integrations: file I/O, terminal/shell execution, web, MCP servers, message apps
  • Build context management: what goes in the window, when to summarize, how to use long/cross-session memory
  • Implement scheduling and automatic/background task execution
  • Design agent security mechanisms through different approaches
  • Keep the harness model-agnostic so local and cloud models are swappable behind one abstraction
  • Make the loop observable, debuggable: tracing, replay, and reproducible agent sessions

Requirements

  • BS/MS in CS, EE, Math or related STEM field
  • 8+ years software development background
  • Strong command of Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, C++
  • Expertise with async, concurrency, and process/subprocess management
  • Experience with projects that call external tools or APIs in a loop and handled the failure modes
  • Experienced at reading unfamiliar codebases and someone else’s runtime
