Responsibilities

  • Develop scalable quality-control systems and methodologies for AI and human-in-the-loop evaluation.
  • Design ground-truth generation pipelines across varied task types, annotation modalities, and cold-start scenarios.
  • Build real-time validation, monitoring, anomaly detection, and drift detection systems for live data and ML pipelines.
  • Perform generative-AI evaluation, including LLM-as-a-judge design, meta-evaluation, failure-mode analysis, and calibration or reference-guided grading.
  • Prototype, validate, deploy, and monitor production LLM-based pipelines and agents.
  • Analyze disagreement root causes and convert findings into corrective actions.
  • Collaborate with downstream users and cross-functional stakeholders to incorporate feedback into system design and communicate findings clearly.
  • Design configurable and extensible tooling that can be used by practitioners who did not build it.

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of industry experience in applied science or machine learning.
  • Production experience building or operating evaluation, annotation, or quality-assurance pipelines.
  • Hands-on experience designing ground-truth generation pipelines across varied tasks and annotation modalities.
  • Experience building real-time monitoring or anomaly/drift detection systems for live data or ML pipelines.
  • Working knowledge of generative-AI evaluation methodologies, including LLM-as-a-judge, meta-evaluation, failure-mode analysis, and calibration or reference-guided grading.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and proficiency in Python and relevant ML frameworks.
  • Production experience building, deploying, and monitoring LLM-based pipelines and agents.
  • Ability to work with stakeholders, incorporate feedback into system design, and communicate with technical and non-technical audiences.
  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience.
