Software Engineer, Agent Harnessing

Scout AI is developing Fury, the first robotic foundation model for defense, to empower U.S. forces with adaptable and autonomous power. As a Software Engineer on the Agent Harnessing team, you will build core architecture for AI agents to interact with real-world systems, focusing on agent orchestration and tool integration.

Responsibilities

• Designing and advancing the agent harness (agent loop, tools, prompts, execution environment, capabilities) used across Scout AI's agentic stack

• Integrating fullstack software with physical hardware systems and AI agents—ensuring robust, low-latency communication across complex pipelines

• Building simulation environments and video-game-like frameworks that allow agents to be tested and trained before physical deployment

• Owning the connectors between AI models and real-world systems—the layer that translates model output into physical action

• Fine-tune frontier AI models and build the data acquisition pipelines that feed the training infrastructure powering our agents

• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with warfighters to turn capability requests into production-ready agentic systems — fast
