- Define and implement success metrics, evaluation datasets, benchmarks, and monitoring for AI systems.
Requirements
- 3+ years of applied AI/ML experience with systems deployed to production.
- Deep expertise in at least one of the following areas: time-series/forecasting and statistical modeling; LLM and agentic systems; large-scale messy-data engineering, with working fluency across several.
- Proficiency in building evaluation and monitoring systems, understanding metric selection, and avoiding leakage and train/serve skew.
- Strong product sense, with the ability to translate AI capabilities into tangible outcomes and recognize when simpler solutions are more effective.
- Master's degree in a STEM field.
Benefits
- Equity ownership in the company.
- Fully paid health coverage (Aetna).
