TL;DR · Harness and Platform Engineer, AI Safety and Security Engineering

As a Harness and Platform Engineer on the AI Safety and Security Engineering team, you will build the foundational substrate for tools that find, validate, and patch software vulnerabilities. You will design, implement, and maintain the agent harness while building evaluation infrastructure to ensure experiment reproducibility through versioned tooling and stable environments. Your daily work involves making research workflows repeatable and removing friction for security and evaluation engineers. To succeed in this role, you must possess over five years of software engineering experience with a focus on Python, containerized environments, and CI/CD pipelines. You should have expertise in agent frameworks, LLM orchestration, ML infrastructure, or evaluation harnesses. Experience with NVIDIA NeMo, security tooling, or vulnerability research is highly valued as you develop the core platform supporting AI-powered security tools and automated testing systems.

What you'll do

  • Design, implement, and maintain the agent harness for AI-powered tooling.
  • Build systems to run and reproduce experiments for security research.
  • Manage environments and versioned tooling to ensure reproducible results.
  • Develop infrastructure based on NVIDIA NeMo agent tooling.
  • Debug platform issues in coordination with security and evaluation engineers.
  • Remove friction from researcher workflows by building reliable internal tools.
  • Maintain the visibility of the entire loop from environment to run to result.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in a related field.
  • 5+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Strong Python engineering skills and comfort with containerized environments and CI/CD.
  • Experience with agent frameworks, LLM orchestration, ML infrastructure, or evaluation harnesses.
  • Commitment to reproducibility through versioned tooling and repeatable results.
  • Hands-on work with NVIDIA NeMo or similar agent frameworks (preferred).
  • Exposure to security tooling or vulnerability research (preferred).
  • Experience building internal tools for other engineers (preferred).
