Full-time
Immediate Start
- Job Description:
- Build and maintain evaluation frameworks for LLMs and generative AI systems tailored to public safety and intelligence use cases.
- Design guardrails and alignment strategies to minimize bias, toxicity, hallucinations, and other ethical risks in production workflows.
- Partner with AI engineers and data scientists to define online and offline evaluation metrics (e.g., model drifts, data drifts, factual accuracy, consistency, safety, interpretability).
- Implement continuous evaluation pipelines for AI models, integrated into CI/CD and production monitoring systems.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to stress test models against edge cases, adversarial prompts, and sensitive data scenarios.
- Research and integrate third-party evaluation frameworks and solutions; adapt them to our regulated, high-stakes environment.
- Work with product and customer-facing teams to ensure explainability, transparency, and auditability of AI outputs.
- Provide technical leadership in responsible AI practices, influencing standards across the organization.
- Contribute to DevOps/MLOps workflows for deployment, monitoring, and scaling of AI evaluation and guardrail systems (experience with Kubernetes is a plus).
- Document best practices and findings, and share knowledge across teams to foster a culture of responsible AI innovation.
- Requirements:
- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or related field.
- 3–5+ years of hands-on experience in ML/AI engineering, with at least 2 years working directly on LLM evaluation, QA, or safety.
- Strong familiarity with evaluation techniques for generative AI: human-in-the-loop evaluation, automated metrics, adversarial testing, red-teaming.
- Experience with bias detection, fairness approaches, and responsible AI design.
- Knowledge of LLM observability, monitoring, and guardrail frameworks e.g Langfuse, Langsmith
- Proficiency with Python and modern AI/ML/LLM/Agentic AI libraries (LangGraph, Strands Agents, Pydantic AI, LangChain, HuggingFace, PyTorch, LlamaIndex).
- Experience integrating evaluations into DevOps/MLOps pipelines, preferably with Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD, or GitHub Actions.
- Understanding of cloud AI platforms (AWS, Azure) and deployment best practices.
- Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to design practical evaluation systems for real-world, high-stakes scenarios.
- Excellent communication skills to translate technical risks and evaluation results into insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Benefits:
- 3 weeks of paid vacation – out the gate!!
- Competitive Salary.
- Generous medical, dental, and vision plans.
- Sick, and paid holidays are offered.
