About the role

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Agent Harnessing team, you will build the core architecture that allows AI agents to interact with and control complex, real-world physical systems.
This spans agent orchestration, tool integration, low-latency communication layers, and execution environments-designed as a platform that Scout AI engineers can extend and depend on.

Building simulation environments and video-game-like frameworks that allow agents to be tested and trained before physical deployment.
Fine-tune frontier AI models and build the data acquisition pipelines that feed the training infrastructure powering our agents.

You have built complex agentic products or infrastructure-agent loops, orchestration systems, tool-use frameworks.
You have strong opinions on model and agent behavior.
You are a systems-oriented fullstack engineer with hands-on experience integrating software with physical hardware or low-level systems.
You have exposure to simulation environments, game engines (Unreal, Unity, Isaac Sim), or robotics middleware (ROS/ROS2).
You have strong SWE fundamentals-architecture, distributed systems, real-time pipelines-and love shipping production systems.

10+ years of full-stack engineering experience (startup or high-ownership environment preferred)
