RemoteUnited States

Full TimeSenior LevelStartup

Job Summary

Design and advance the agent harness architecture, integrating fullstack software with physical hardware to enable low-latency communication across complex pipelines. Build simulation environments and video-game-like frameworks for agent testing, while owning connectors that translate model output into real-world physical actions. Fine-tune frontier AI models and construct data acquisition pipelines feeding the training infrastructure. Work shoulder-to-shoulder with warfighters to transform capability requests into production-ready agentic systems. This role focuses on building the core platform for Scout AI's robotic foundation model, Fury, enabling human operators to command fleets of robots through natural language.

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

Desired Qualifications

  • startup or high-ownership environment
