Agents in Orbit: Workflows, Not Autopilot — Eduardo Simon & Javier Casal, Flywire
AI Engineer — Oct 12, 2026 — talk
Why watch
Flywire engineers Eduardo Simon and Javier Casal present Orbit, an internal platform that integrates AI agents into deterministic engineering workflows using YAML definitions that go through standard code review. The platform handles code review, translation updates, dependency fixes, ticket triage and bulk repository changes across ~400 engineers, with architecture separating orchestration, execution and session state, plus per-step restrictions on network access, tools and MCP servers. A must-watch for platform engineers and engineering leaders building AI-assisted development workflows.
