Organizational structure: Harvester and Cultivator model: The engineering organizational structure draws on Palantir’s model and is divided into Harvester (reaper) and Cultivator (cultivator).

* Harvester is a product engineer and is fully responsible for the product life cycle, including metrics, A/B experiments, end-to-end feature building, etc.

*Cultivator is an AI software engineer who focuses on building the company's "agent-based operating system" and taking the lead in implementing automation in different business units (including marketing, design, and product).

Cultivator's job is to lay the foundation for the company's rapid shipping and expansion.

This means that newly joined Harvesters or Cultivators will work in a highly automated and well-infrastructured environment, and many of the underlying complexities have been abstracted and optimized by the Cultivator team, further reducing the learning curve for new employees.
