You build production agent systems that run themselves. Not prompts, loops. Not a single assistant, a coordinated swarm.
The role:
We build and ship agent platforms that do real work in production. This role is for an engineer who designs self-running agent loops and multi-agent swarms, not someone who tweaks prompts one turn at a time. You will own systems that find work, do it, verify it, and report back, with humans at the gates rather than in every iteration.
This is a hands-on, ship-first engineering role. You write production code other engineers trust, and you treat agents as software systems that need triggers, budgets, stop conditions, verification, and observability like any other.
What we mean by loop engineering: designing an agent system as a control loop with an explicit trigger, scope, action, budget, stop condition, and report, plus a verifier that can reject bad work, so it runs unattended and knows when to stop or hand back to a human. Not a bigger prompt. A system that prompts the agents for you.
What we mean by swarm agents: a coordinated fleet of specialized agents (planner, builder, reviewer, verifier, scout, coordinator) with file and task ownership, shared state, quality gates, and clean handoffs, run by an orchestrator rather than one do-everything assistant.
What you'll do
- Design self-running loops. Define the trigger, scope, action, budget, stop condition, and reporting so an agent runs unattended, stays inside cost and iteration limits, and knows when it is done versus when to escalate.
- Build multi
