About the Role

We're hiring a Senior AI Scientist to lead the development of novel evals methodologies and customer-facing evaluation research. You'll own the full loop: from identifying gaps in how we evaluate AI quality, to inventing new evals approaches, to deploying them in customer engagements and competitive analyses. This role sits at the center of how we understand and improve our AI systems. You'll work directly with customers to understand their unique quality requirements, design evals that capture what matters, and create reusable evaluation frameworks that scale across our customer base. You'll also contribute to our evals research agenda, publishing work on evaluation methodologies for agents, RAG systems, and search-augmented AI. The ideal candidate brings both a researcher's rigor and a practitioner's pragmatism - comfortable writing papers on evals methodology and comfortable on sales calls explaining evaluation trade-offs to enterprise customers.
