We now operate across 21 markets worldwide, including the US, Canada, UK, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand.

The Role

What are the main responsibilities for this role?

• Build the core product and system architecture for a next-gen education agent

• Design and ship agentic workflows across planning, tool use, memory, evals, feedback loops, and production operations

• Own difficult engineering problems end to end, from prototype to production

• Build robust backend and infra foundations for AI-native products

• Work across the stack when needed, but go deep on backend systems and infrastructure

• Partner closely with product and design to turn ambiguous ideas into working products fast

• Push the team toward higher engineering leverage, better abstractions, and faster iteration loops
  

What skills and experience are required?

• Hardcore technical ability

• Strong full-stack skills, with especially deep experience in backend and infrastructure engineering

• The kind of engineer people describe as a 10x builder

• Strong product instinct, not just implementation ability

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and moving with very high ownership

• Able to design clean systems, make sharp tradeoffs, and execute fast without lowering the bar

• Deep curiosity about AI agents, developer tooling, evals, orchestration, and how modern engineering is changing

• Real excitement for exploring and applying Harness Engineering, not just reading about it

Strong Plus If You Have

• Experience building AI agents, copilot-style products, workflows, or internal automation systems

• Experience with LLM application infrastructure, eval systems, retrieval, tool execution, or observability

• Experience building developer platforms, infra products, or backend-heavy systems at scale

• Startup experience, especially 0-to-1 product building

• Interest in education, learning systems, or personalized AI products
