Every agent on this platform runs inside its own isolated environment, and someone has to make sure that environment actually behaves the way it's supposed to under real load, not just in a clean test run. As a Senior Agent Runtime Engineer, you'll own the health of the systems agents run on: keeping sessions isolated from each other, catching the failure modes that only show up under real concurrency, and making sure a slow or expensive agent gets caught before it becomes everyone's problem. You'll work closely with the engineers building the agents themselves, since you're often the first call when something behaves strangely in a real environment but not in a test one. If you like being the person who understands a system well enough to know exactly why it's misbehaving, this is that job.  

Skills and competencies:

• Own the health of the agent execution environment day to day — session isolation, resource limits, and catching the failure modes that only appear once real concurrency and real traffic patterns show up, not just in a clean test run.
• Investigate and resolve cases where an agent behaves differently in production than it did in testing, working directly with the Agent Engineer or Quality Engineer who built it to figure out whether the problem is the agent's design or the environment it's running in.
• Tune cold-start and concurrency settings for the platform's critical-path functions, and review them on a regular cadence as usage patterns shift rather than setting them once and forgetting them.
