About the role

About the Role

Join a small, technical team at an early-stage AI evaluation company building benchmarks for frontier AI agents. You will own the design and implementation of rigorous, domain-specific evaluations that help research teams and customers understand real-world agent performance.

What You'll Do

  • Design, implement, and maintain benchmarks for evaluating AI agents on domain-specific tasks.
  • Work with subject-matter experts to translate real workflows into realistic tasks and evaluation criteria.
  • Build reliable infrastructure for running models and agents against benchmark tasks at scale.
  • Develop metrics and analyses to assess benchmark difficulty, reliability, and failure modes.
  • Validate how benchmark results relate to real-world evaluations and user needs.
  • Write clear technical documentation and reports communicating benchmark methods and results.

What We're Looking For

  • Two to four years of experience in research engineering, machine learning engineering, or a related technical role, including at least two years building or delivering AI benchmarks, evaluation infrastructure, or agent environments.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, Docker, and Linux for research or production infrastructure.
  • Hands-on experience designing, implementing, and operating evaluations for AI agents or large language models.
  • Experience building infrastructure to run models or agents reliably, and developing metrics, statistical analyses, or validation studies.
  • Ability to collaborate with subject-matter experts and analyze workflows across different domains to create useful evaluation tasks.
  • Strong technical writing, attention to detail, first-principles reasoning, and comfort working independently in a fast-paced startup.
  • Published research or technical writing on benchmarking, model evaluation, or failure modes is valued. Reinforcement learning pipelines, data generation, and agent evaluation experience are also relevant.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $100,000 to $170,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
