Location: This role would require you to work from Bangalore, India office (3days/ week)
Role type: Individual contributor

The Opportunity
As Lead Harness Engineer, you'll build and own the harness's individual controls, end-to-end from problem to production. As AI agents write more code, the bottleneck shifts from writing to verification — agents outpace human review. Harness Engineering fixes this by building the environment (the harness) that steers agents toward correct, maintainable output, so quality is enforced by the system, not checked by hand

What We're Seeking
Bachelor's/Master's in Computer Science or related disciplines, or relevant experience in software architecture, design, development, and testing.
Strong software engineering background; you've worked in large codebases and care about architecture, testing, and maintainability.
Comfortable building tooling across a contemporary stack — linters and static analysis, CI pipelines, containerized build/test environments, and instrumentation/observability — and familiar with agent instruction conventions such as AGENTS.md.




Hands-on experience with AI coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, or similar) and a feel for where they succeed and fail.
Experience with spec-driven development, context engineering, agent orchestration, fitness functions, and developer-platform work.
A systems mindset — you'd rather fix the environment than fix one output — and the ability to encode "what good looks like" into mechanical, repeatable rules.
Judgement about when to reach for deterministic, computational controls (type checkers, linters, structural/architecture-fitness tests) versus inferential, LLM-based ones (AI code review, LLM-as-judge) — and an understanding of the cost, speed, and reliability trade-offs between them.
Clear communicator; able to articulate design with architects and discuss strategy and requirements with teams.

What You'll Contribute
