Job summary

Responsibilities

Frontier AI companies are increasingly bottlenecked on expert judgment — capturing it reliably, validating it at scale, and turning it into durable model behavior. This role sits at the center of that problem.

  • Build ML systems that score, validate, and improve complex work products where correctness is nuanced and labels are imperfect.
  • Design evaluation frameworks for ambiguous tasks where ground truth is partial, delayed, or disputed.
  • Build feedback loops that turn review, disagreement, correction, and adjudication into measurable model and system improvements.
  • Own production ML behavior end-to-end: precision/recall tradeoffs, regression detection, drift, latency, cost, and explainability.
  • Improve model quality using the right tool for the job — prompting, fine-tuning, retrieval, active learning, heuristics, and error analysis.
