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).
