Responsibilities

  • Design and develop automated evaluation frameworks and pipelines for AI-powered products.
  • Define quality metrics and evaluation methodologies covering accuracy, relevance, groundedness, completeness, consistency, instruction following, and task completion.
  • Build golden datasets, benchmark sets, regression suites, adversarial scenarios, and production-derived test sets.
  • Develop Auto Eval and model-based evaluation capabilities, including LLM-as-a-Judge, calibration, and validation methods.
  • Create Human-in-the-Loop evaluation processes, rubrics, annotation guidelines, grading criteria, and quality standards.
  • Evaluate retrieval, context construction, prompts, model responses, tool use, APIs, and end-to-end AI experiences.
  • Develop evaluation methods for conversations, personalization, recommendations, tool use, reasoning, and agentic task execution.
  • Perform error analysis and failure-mode investigation to identify model, prompt, retrieval, dataset, and product improvements.
  • Build reusable evaluation infrastructure, APIs, dashboards, and developer tooling for multiple AI products and teams.
  • Integrate evaluation into CI/CD workflows with automated regression detection, quality gates, and release-readiness assessments.
  • Connect offline evaluation results with production signals to improve evaluation coverage and product quality.
  • Partner with Machine Learning, Software Engineering, Product, Quality Engineering, Human Interface, and Data Science teams across the AI product lifecycle.

Requirements

  • At least 7 years of related experience in Machine Learning Engineering, ML Evaluation, Software Engineering, Data Science, Quality Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Strong Python programming skills and experience developing production-quality software, ML systems, data pipelines, or evaluation infrastructure.
  • Experience developing or evaluating LLMs, Generative AI, Conversational AI, NLP, recommendation systems, or other machine-learning-driven products.
  • Experience designing automated ML evaluation frameworks, metrics, benchmarks, datasets, or experimentation methodologies.
  • Understanding of LLM application architectures, including prompting, embeddings, retrieval-augmented generation, tool use, and agentic workflows.
  • Experience with model-based evaluation and understanding of LLM-as-a-Judge strengths and limitations.
  • Experience with Human-in-the-Loop evaluation, annotation, or data-quality workflows.
  • Strong understanding of statistical analysis, experimentation, sampling, and measurement methodologies.
  • Experience with model error analysis, failure analysis, and root-cause investigation.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent industry experience.
  • Preferred experience with production-scale LLM or Generative AI evaluation infrastructure, RAG, conversational systems, AI agents, personalization, recommendations, or multimodal AI.
  • Preferred experience with golden datasets, regression suites, automated quality gates, continuous evaluation pipelines, CI/CD integration, experiment tracking, AI observability, multilingual evaluation, responsible AI, internal ML platforms, developer tooling, and distributed ML or data-processing infrastructure.
  • A master’s degree in a related technical field or equivalent industry experience is preferred.
