## About the role

As a starting point, we’ve created an autonomous loop that detects failures (real and in simulation), creates llm unit-tests to reproduce those failures, and iterates until those are solved without introducing regressions. This is rather effective at autonomously tuning the behavior of our agents without significant manual interference. We hope to improve and push the boundaries here significantly.
