The Opportunity

Come join our engineering team in a hands-on technical role at the heart of a recent discipline: Harness Engineering. As AI coding agents take on more of the software lifecycle, the hard part is no longer writing code — agents generate it faster than humans can review it, so the bottleneck shifts to verification and trust. Harness Engineering exists to break that bottleneck: engineering the environment that steers agents toward correct, maintainable, well-architected output so that quality is enforced by the system, not re-audited by a person on every change. We call that environment the harness (Agent = Model + Harness). As a Lead Harness Engineer you'll build and own the individual controls that make up that harness, working end-to-end from problem to production.

What You'll Contribute
- Design, develop, deploy, and support components of the harness — the guides, feedback loops,



guardrails, and shared context that turn raw model capability into production-grade engineering. This is a hands-on role focused on systems and leverage, not hand-writing application code.
- Build feedforward guides — agent instruction files, reusable skills, architectural rules, reference docs, and codemods — that help agents get it right the first time.
- Build feedback sensors — custom linters, static analysis, structural and architecture-fitness tests, verification loops, and LLM-as-judge reviewers — that catch issues before they reach human reviewers.
- Run the steering loop — when an agent repeats a mistake, engineer a control so it can't happen again — and help keep repository knowledge (docs, specs, context) legible to agents, fighting drift.
- Contribute to quality gating and release criteria, and to LLM testing that ensures AI-generated output meets quality and safety thresho
