Researcher, Evals

Job summary

Responsibilities

The New Horizons Evaluations team is reimagining how we measure progress in interactive machine intelligence. As Evaluations Lead, you will design evaluation frameworks that capture not just what models know — but how they reason, remember, and interact over time.

• Identify and define key model capabilities and behaviors that matter for next-generation model evals
• Develop and implement new evaluation pipelines with robust statistical analysis and clear reporting
• Partner closely with model training and research teams to embed evaluation systems directly into model development loops
• Prototype new user studies and behavioral experiments to ground evaluations in real-world use.

What they're looking for

• Experience designing or implementing evaluation frameworks for generative models (audio, text, or multimodal)
• Strong technical and analytical skills, ability to take open-ended research ideas and translate them into production-ready systems
• Creativity in defining novel quantitative metrics for subjective or behavioral qualities
• Excitement for building evaluation systems that bridge research and real-world use
• Curiosity and rigor in equal measure; motivation driven by discovering how to measure meaningful progress in intelligent behavior
