About The Opportunity

Our client, a leader in AI testing and Generative AI solutions, is looking for a skilled AI Safety and Evaluations Engineer to join their team for a 12-month engagement. This project involves designing and building rigorous evaluation frameworks to measure model bias, hallucinations, and toxicity, ensuring models are safe and compliant before deployment. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables

This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Designing and building rigorous evaluation frameworks to measure model bias, hallucinations, and toxicity.
  • Creating automated "Eval" datasets to benchmark new models before they are promoted to production.
  • Developing metrics for "Grounding" and "Faithfulness" in RAG-based systems.
  • Building monitoring tools that flag harmful or non-compliant AI outputs in real-time.
  • Partnering with legal and ethics teams to translate policy into technical safety constraints.

Required Skills & Experience:

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:

  • 3 years of experience in AI Research or Quality Engineering.
  • Deep expertise in model evaluation techniques and NLP metrics (ROUGE, BLEU, BERTScore). This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
  • Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
  • Experience with Python, data analysis tools, and LLM-as-a-Judge frameworks.
  • Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
