Skills
Candidate Availability
Required and preferred rules are kept separate and reflect the wording in the original posting.
About the Role
You will work end to end on the internal eval suite and infrastructure, keeping it reliable and reproducible at scale. You will design held-out evals for capabilities like agentic workflows, computer use, and cybersecurity, build evals for small edge models, debug unexpected scores by reading outputs, and publish open-source evals and papers.
Requirements
- Strong eval design skills producing accurate, general-purpose, hard-to-game evaluations
- Previously built evals, at least one from scratch (benchmark, eval paper, or contributions to lm-eval-harness, lighteval, OLMES, HELM, or Inspect)
- Fluency with contamination, saturation, judge bias, and variance
- Hands-on experience running and managing evals in a team
- Habit of debugging scores by reading generated answers
- Software engineering skills to own eval infrastructure and debug inference and infra failures at scale
Responsibilities
- Maintain the internal eval suite and infrastructure so it is reliable, optimized, and reproducible at scale
- Design held-out evals for priority capabilities such as agentic workflows, computer use, and cybersecurity, with contamination checks
- Build evals targeted at small edge models
- Read generated outputs to debug unexpected scores
- Turn customer and open-source feedback into environments for data, training, and evaluation
- Partner with other teams to design evals for their needs
- Release open-source evals, write papers, and publish failure-mode reviews of popular evaluations
Benefits
- Equity
- Unlimited PTO
- Company-wide Refill Days
- Comprehensive health coverage
- Paid leave for pregnancy, parenting, medical needs, and family care
