Deepseek is developing a new AI coding agent called "Deepseek Code," designed to compete directly with Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI's Codex, and Cursor. The Chinese AI company is forming a dedicated "Harness" team in Beijing, hiring a product manager and developer to build the agent's tooling, planning, and memory capabilities around its existing models. Candidates are expected to have hands-on experience with rival coding tools and expertise in areas like agent loops, multi-agent systems, and context engineering.
