Requirements

  • Have professional experience building and deploying production-grade software.
  • Be proficient in Python, TypeScript, or another language commonly used for AI applications, platforms, and developer tooling.
  • Bring a practical understanding of harness engineering, including infrastructure, context, tools, permissions, controls, and feedback mechanisms.
  • Have experience building or working with agent loops, including planning, tool selection, execution, observation, reflection, recovery, and termination.
  • Be familiar with graph-based orchestration, state machines, and multi-step workflows.
  • Have experience designing evaluation systems for AI applications, including benchmarks, regression suites, human review, or production monitoring.
  • Understand trade-offs involving prompts, context management, memory, retrieval, tool use, structured outputs, and model selection.
  • Have experience instrumenting AI systems to trace decisions, inspect intermediate states, measure quality, and diagnose failures.
  • Have strong knowledge of APIs, distributed systems, databases, cloud infrastructure, and modern software-development practices.
  • Be able to move from an ambiguous customer problem to a validated prototype and secure, maintainable production system.
  • Have experience collaborating directly with customers, stakeholders, or cross-functional delivery teams.
  • Be able to explain AI-system behavior, limitations, risks, and technical trade-offs clearly in writing and verbally.
  • Be able to travel occasionally for client workshops or on-site delivery, where required.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with clients to understand objectives, workflows, technical environments, data, and operational constraints.
  • Translate ambiguous business challenges into technical requirements, solution architectures, prototypes, and delivery plans.
  • Design and build AI-enabled applications, agentic workflows, developer tools, APIs, data pipelines, and full-stack products.
  • Engineer model harnesses, agent loops, and workflow orchestration patterns, including tools, context, permissions, controls, and human approvals.
  • Create evaluation frameworks to measure task completion, accuracy, reliability, safety, latency, cost, and user value.
  • Integrate solutions with client systems, enterprise data sources, cloud platforms, and third-party services.
  • Instrument AI applications, diagnose failures, and address issues such as hallucinations, looping, context loss, prompt injection, and unsafe actions.
  • Establish engineering practices including automated testing, documentation, observability, security, and continuous delivery.
  • Communicate technical decisions, risks, trade-offs, and progress to technical and non-technical audiences.
