Responsibilities

  • Own the evaluation platform end to end, including systems for generating, annotating, reviewing, and adapting model outputs at frontier scale.
  • Design CLIs, APIs, GUIs, and storage layers for fast, collaborative evaluation workflows.
  • Work with research teams across video, image, audio, agents, and robotics to understand evaluation needs and generalize solutions into the platform.
  • Set standards for reproducibility, metric definitions, reporting formats, and trustworthy model-evaluation results.
  • Drive adoption and integration of the platform across training, production model serving, and other research efforts.
  • Contribute to ML Platform tools and systems used to train and serve frontier models.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience building ML infrastructure or data platforms in production, including experience with evaluation, experimentation, or benchmarking systems.
  • Strong Python and PyTorch skills, with hands-on experience running large batch GPU workloads on Kubernetes.
  • Experience designing data pipelines and storage for large volumes of media or model outputs, including versioning and reproducibility.
  • Familiarity with experimental statistics, including paired comparisons, confidence intervals, multiple-comparison pitfalls, and inter-rater agreement.
  • Experience building internal tools end to end from the command line to the browser.
  • Ability to lead a broad technical area, gather requirements, set direction, make tradeoffs, and drive a roadmap.
  • Familiarity with the full model development lifecycle spanning data, training, evaluation, and serving.
  • Ability to work independently with research teams, move quickly, and apply systems thinking to production reliability.
  • Preferred: experience building evaluation suites for generative models, LLM- or VLM-as-judge pipelines, online experimentation platforms, offline-to-product metric connections, or evaluation systems for agents or robotics policies.
