Be the guide to the team as the team creates a robust methodology and framework that will drive evaluation of hundreds of AI agents.

Responsibilities :
• Evaluation Frameworks – Develop reusable, automated evaluation pipelines using frameworks such as Raagas; integrate LLM-as-a-judge methods for scalable assessments.
• Golden Datasets – Build and maintain high-quality benchmark datasets in collaboration with subject matter experts.
• AI Output Validation – Evaluate results across text, documents, audio, and video, using both automated metrics and human-in-the-loop judgment.
• Metric Evaluation – Implement and track metrics such as precision, recall, F1 score, relevance scoring, and hallucination penalties.
• RAG & Embeddings – Design and evaluate retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, vector embedding similarity, and semantic search quality.
• Error & Bias Analysis – Investigate recurring errors, biases, and inconsistencies in model outputs; propose solutions.
• Framework & Tooling Development – Build tools that enable large-scale model evaluation across hundreds of AI agents.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration – Partner with ML engineers, product managers, and QA peers to integrate evaluation frameworks into product pipelines.

Required Qualifications:
• 4+ years of experience as a Software Development Engineer in AI/ML systems.
• Strong coding skills in Python (evaluation pipelines, data processing, metrics computation).
• Hands-on experience with evaluation frameworks (Ragas or equivalent).
• Knowledge of vector embeddings, similarity search, and RAG evaluation.
• Familiarity with evaluation metrics (precision, recall, F1, relevance, hallucination detection).
• Understanding of LLM-as-a-judge evaluation approaches.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to combine human judgment with automated evaluations.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or related field.
