What You'll Achieve
- Build and improve scalable eval runners and harnesses that work locally, in CI, and on scheduled runs.
- Make it easy for engineers to add high-signal evals: better templates, fixtures, debugging tools, and clear workflows.
- Build and maintain benchmark and dataset tooling (curation pipelines, versioning, artifact management, and regression tracking).
- Improve reliability and observability for eval execution (retries, idempotency, cost and latency visibility, and failure triage).
- Partner closely with AI product, AI platform, and infrastructure teams to integrate evals into day-to-day shipping workflows.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience shipping production systems.
- Proficiency with TypeScript/Node and/or Python.
- Experience building reliable systems in distributed environments (queues, retries, idempotency, and backfills).
- Comfort working with data pipelines (batch processing, data quality, versioning, and reproducibility).
- Practical experience designing measurement or evaluation systems (LLM eval experience is a plus, but strong testing and benchmarking instincts also apply).
- You don’t need to be an AI expert, but you’re curious and willing to adopt AI tools to work smarter and deliver better results.
- Experience building developer tooling (CLI tools, CI integrations, or internal platforms).
- Familiarity with LLM evaluation techniques (rubrics, human review loops, dataset curation, and regression detection).
- Experience collaborating across teams to roll out new workflows and drive adoption.
