Our Mission

About the Role
Conduct critical comparative analysis to advance our understanding of model capabilities
Build and refine evaluation systems and processes that create tight feedback loops between data, evals, and model behavior
Develop generalizable evaluation frameworks that capture what matters for reasoning, alignment, and usefulness.
Collaborate closely with pre-training, post-training, and applied teams to translate insights into model improvements.
Push the boundaries of what’s measurable, from synthetic evals to human feedback and real-world interaction data.
About You
Strong statistical analysis and experimental design skills to rigorously measure model improvements
Familiarity with LLM evaluation methodologies: static benchmarks, human preference evals, and/or agentic tasks.
High agency and thrive in a fast-paced startup environment; bias for impact over process.
Excited to work in a new frontier lab, defining how we measure and accelerate progress toward more capable models.
Collaborative, detail-oriented, and motivated by building the feedback loops that make models truly improve.

Skills and AI tools this role asks for
Questions you could be asked
- How do you decide that one model's output is better than another's for a given task?
- How would you decide a model or AI system is ready to ship?
- Tell me about a time a model underperformed in production. How did you find out, and what did you change?
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: AI Evaluation. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Lead with what you built, trained or shipped. This role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
