Job Summary

Description
In this role, you will:
• Build and operate AI evaluation workflows that measure the quality of LLM outputs across chat,
summarization, recommendations, and agent-based features.
• Implement LLM-as-a-Judge and rubric-based evals to score outputs for correctness, relevance, grounding,
and consistency.
• Instrument LLM and agent workflows to capture traces, prompts and responses, metadata, and user
feedback.
• Support release readiness by running evals before launches and highlighting regressions or quality risks.
• Help define agent-specific evals (task completion, tool correctness, error recovery).
• Partner with AI engineers and AI platform teams to translate product requirements into evals criteria.
• Review eval results and recommend improvements.
• Contribute to system design for observability, retries, and logging.
