Manages AI agents, translates strategic direction into agent instructions, and brings the intent to life.
The Intent Engineer manages the AI agents that deliver inside a loop. They bring the intent to life by translating strategic direction into agent instructions, evaluations and guardrails so the system actually executes the plan — not a noisy approximation of it.
This is the "new magician" role in Symbiosis. One Intent Engineer operating multiple AI agents delivers the output of an entire traditional team — from analysis to building, from testing to operating.
This requires a fundamentally different skillset: prompt engineering, agent orchestration, evaluation design, and the ability to work across what were previously separate disciplines. The Intent Engineer does not just write code; they design the human–AI collaboration that makes each Play run.
Key principles
- Translates strategy into agent instructions.
- Owns evals, prompts, and guardrails.
- Operates the agent fleet inside a Play.
- Brings the intent to life through agents.
