Our novel in-memory-computing architecture delivers a 10x step-function improvement in compute energy efficiency and performance for AI inference workloads. As the demands of artificial intelligence move beyond today's models, we believe fundamental underlying infrastructure must evolve. We are an experienced team of AI researchers, silicon & systems engineers, and architects backed by leading investors, poised to become the essential platform for the next wave of AI innovation.\nThe Opportunity\nWe serve open-weight models and our own bespoke checkpoints on EnCharge hardware. The models change often, and the harness around them needs to keep up. You own this layer that runs agents against files, tools, documents with permissions, memory, unattended execution, and real outputs. It will be assembled from a combination of open-source and bespoke code.\nKey Responsibilities\nOwn the harness architecture end to end - agent loop, safe execution, context management, knowledge base, memory, permissions, orchestration, outputs, interfaces, observability - one component per layer, with clear interfaces so layers can be swapped.\nBuild the pieces with no open-source equivalent e.g. session semantics, enforced permissions, memory in a human-editable file, orchestrator, and outputs.\nKeep pace with the models: adapters, prompt formats, tool-call schemas, stop conditions, benchmarking and evaluation.\nMake tool use reliable across models of uneven tool-calling quality - validation, repair, retries, fallbacks.\nDevelop agents, tools, and MCP servers for internal and customer use cases, and review them for security before they ship.\nBuild the evaluation harness: task suites, regression runs on every model or harness change, cost and latency per task alongside quality.\nDefine the interfaces: session API, CLI, GUI, and an endpoint existing tools can point at.\nQualifications\n10+ years of software engineering experience in backend systems or ML infrastructure\nStrong Python and at least one systems language (e.g., Go, Rust, C++)\nHave shipped and operated an agent loop in production - tool use, multi-step workflows, unattended runs\nHands-on with RAG, context management, and memory for LLM applications\nExperience with sandboxing, isolation, and permission models for automated systems\nHave run open-weight models yourself and understand how quantization and serving choices change model behavior\nComfort in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where you define the roadmap; strong product instincts\nNice to Have\nContributions to open-source agent harnesses or coding agents\nExperience with agent benchmarks (e.g., SWE-bench, Terminal-Bench) and building internal task suites\nMoE serving familiarity e.g. expert placement, tensor parallelism, quantization etc.\nObservability for LLM systems\nDocument parsing and indexing pipelines\nDesktop or GUI application experience","description_format":"text","description_chars":3068,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-17T03:28:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":42,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.463,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":27,"expected_fill_days":43,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/encharge-ai-ai-software-engineer-agent-harness","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/encharge-ai-ai-software-engineer-agent-harness.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T13:39:42Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16855,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673158},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673158"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fencharge-ai-ai-software-engineer-agent-harness"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fencharge-ai-ai-software-engineer-agent-harness"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fencharge-ai-ai-software-engineer-agent-harness"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/encharge-ai-ai-software-engineer-agent-harness\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fencharge-ai-ai-software-engineer-agent-harness"}]}
