Responsibilities

  • Design and build a unified evaluation system for agentic and algorithmic solutions across task success, quality, robustness, motifs, agent topologies, and decomposition strategies.
  • Mine real commits and traces and create task suites covering code search, code editing and repair, repository summarization, and tool use.
  • Implement sandboxed execution grading and maintain reproducible, contamination-controlled, stable benchmarks and baselines.
  • Compare agentic and algorithmic approaches based on resolved-task quality and transparently account for added steps, latency, and cost.
  • Lead external benchmark co-publications and ensure results withstand peer and customer review.
  • Use evaluation results to inform shipping decisions, customer proof points, and company-wide quality claims.

  • Strong Python engineering skills and comfort with sandboxed and distributed execution and CI.
  • Hands-on experience building or rigorously evaluating agentic or multi-step LLM systems.
